Sometimes the best love stories start with hiding in a bathtub.
Cleo Albright, a 27-year-old Filipino-American florist and former ER nurse, is hiding in a bathtub at her best friend's party to avoid her dismissive ex-boyfriend when she encounters Colson Kentworth, a Seattle news anchor escaping a persistent coworker. What begins as a desperate fake-dating arrangement between two strangers becomes something neither of them expected. Through family dinners, unexpected connections, and the quiet accumulation of genuine moments, they discover that sometimes the best relationships start in the most unlikely places.
As Cleo navigates the challenges of growing her small flower shop and Colson rediscovers his passion for meaningful journalism, they learn what it means to build something real together. With the wisdom of Cleo's grandmother Lola Caring, the support of their families, and the chaos of four dogs, they figure out that love isn't about perfect timing or grand gestures-it's about showing up, seeing each other clearly, and having the courage to stay when things get complicated. A story about second chances, finding clarity after the storm, and recognizing that the person you're hiding with might be exactly the person you need.
