Lauren Cohen was born with a round face, wide blue eyes, slightly chubby cheeks, stick-thin body, and short stature. Maybe that's why she's 24 and still forever single.
So she's ecstatic when she finally has a shot with her cute coworker at her hometown's quirkiest holiday confectionery. She's liked Austin from the moment she began training at the bakery, and he's the perfect guy to talk to- he's super nice, likes to write just like Lauren, and best of all- actually seems to enjoy talking with her.
Then she finds out that he's been given a great professional opportunity and may be moving out to Cincinnati in two short weeks...if he accepts the position. Now Lauren's at crunch time to land not just a friendship, but maybe a relationship as well.
Will she get the Christmas miracle she's hoping for?
