Stuck together like sardines in a tin, but does that mean that romance will win?

Trapped in an elevator or pushed together by a curse, these potential love birds have no say in who they spend their time with. They can only decide what to do with it.

Celebrate your favourite romance book tropes with this funny Forced Proximity cross stitch bookmark styled after vintage match box art. Featuring whole stitches and back stitch (it's worth it, trust me) in bright, bold retro colours, it's sure to be as eye catching as that one person they just can't get away from.
