false god

Florence Cephas-Jones has always believed love is dangerous - a trap that ends in heartbreak. When Daveed Diggs re-enters her life, he doesn't rush her. He doesn't demand her trust. He shows her, day by day, that love can be gentle, funny, and domestic.

From paint fights in her half-finished apartment to lazy mornings with coffee and shared music, their connection grows quietly, intentionally, in ways that feel ordinary but mean everything. But Florence's past isn't done with her, and when fear takes over, she pushes Daveed away, convinced she's protecting herself.

Separated by distance and her own doubts, they both learn that love isn't a risk to escape from - it's something to stay in, to choose every single day.
