Hometown Holidays (Pt. 1 of 2)

It's the holiday season! And nobody loves the holidays more than Carol Bells, a very romanceable gal in the small town of Bethlehem-upon-Tyne. Such a shame she's been too busy running a charming local coffee shop to find love - if only she had made a pact with three different eligible lesbians that they would get married if they were both single by the age of 30. If only.
