Summary
When finally they’re alone, it’s surprising how normal everything feels. It’s just them, after all.

Summary
AU: When actress Carla Connor takes on a film role in a quiet UK beach town, she adjusts to a life of solitude which she comes to enjoy. But on set, she meets Lisa Swain, a retired army medic turned makeup artist whose calm presence and steady hands begin to anchor her in unexpected ways. As long days of filming turn into late night quiet conversations, a quiet bond begins to form — one built on comfort, care, and the kind of understanding neither of them saw coming.
