Match: Jack with Petra (Brooke Johnson). His fave thing is a watch and she mends watches. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteJeniche of Antar might make a good match for Caliban!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSebastian might match well with Sylvie... His foster brother is an tattoo artist, and Sylvie seems surrounded by artists as well. They both like to eat and watch movies. I also think that they feel that they can do much more than what they are doing in their current lives.
