The persistent murmur of the film set dissolves into a backdrop as you stand isolated in a spill of artificial sunlight, your script a familiar weight.

"Ah, sorry, love," he says, his voice a deep, quiet cut through the hush. His eyes don't waver from yours. "Wasn't my intention to pull you out of the zone."
