That Emma seemed to enjoy reading made Liz feel a lot better. Still, she lifted up the small bag and put it on the table with a bit of a sheepish smile. "I, um. I still made you something, as a thank you. I don't think if you, um, can even use it, but it felt right to give it to you."

Inside the small gift bag was a long dark blue velvet pouch that had been stitched together diligently, but not to the degree of someone like Corbie's whose hands were deft at the skill. The pouch and a cursive 'E' on it in light blue lettering and it was mostly straight. A small pink ribbon wrapped around the top to open and close it. It was big enough to potentially hold cards, should Emma feel the need.
