A Lie I Can Live With. The Match Before Christmas, #3

A dating site profile faked up to make geeky gamer Otis Tucker more alluring hasn't done much for his social life, so what does he have to lose by putting his real picture and honest interests online? His pal Barry swears there's someone out there who will love Otis for himself, extra pounds and all. Handsome Garret Mims sends "I'd love to meet you!" but takes things so slow Otis is quite sure they're stopped.
Is it really a date if there's not so much as a kiss between them? Maybe he shouldn't worry about Garret's intentions and just enjoy every platonic moment. Instead, Otis could work on finding the missing ingredient for his pumpkin pies before Thanksgiving. Garret's upfront in every way but one, and Otis may have found a lie he can live with.
