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.

Carla's arms were crossed, and she looked far too glamourous to be sitting on a plastic chair in an A&E waiting room, with her manicured nails and calf length leather boots. "So... I'm your emergency contact?"
"I had to put someone, and it turns out, you're basically the only adult I know who doesn't work where I work, and that was so depressing that I didn't want to tell you." Lisa said begrudgingly. "That's just another fun side effect of my wife dying. You suddenly don't have an emergency contact."
