“①that, it, amazing, so, I, hardly, it, could, read, was（.）” Emma said. She read some of the letter aloud. “Without you, I wouldn’t be the woman I am today.”
“It was five pages about how amazing she is and each page had a picture of her, and then at the end said ‘Will you accept me?’” Alice said. ②The paper behind it was the one where she had to sign it.
