"I just love attention too much to stay behind a camera, I'm afraid," she admitted with a dramatic sigh. It was a lot to handle at times, but for the most part she enjoyed the entire process of filming and watching herself back on television. The bad times with it were few and far between. "That's the answer I was really hoping not to hear. Working is fine, but girl, you need to have fun too. No big trips planned? Hot dates? Juicy gossip to share?" Her brow lifted at the end of her string of questions, hoping that her friend hadn't been so caught up in work that she wasn't also having fun.

She laughed and nodded. "You have a knack for it, I'll give you that." She had seen a few thing Aliye had done and she really was great on camera. If Lou ever needed someone to be the face of a press release or something, she would've chosen Aliye. "What can I say? I love my job." She told the woman before shaking her head. "Not really. I signed up for speed dating, so that'll be something." She told her. "Did you sign up?" @aliyebalik

Lou laughed a little bit and nodded. "Noted." She had been to Vegas before on trips, but nothing long term and she never planned on moving there. If she were to move to a city, it'd probably be back to New York. She was happy in Kismet Harbor, though. It reminded her a lot of her hometown in ways. She took a sip of her wine before shrugging. "Well, I grew up in Newport, Rhode Island then I moved to New York City, then to Baltimore, and then here so I haven't lived in a lot of places. I'd say my favorite would be New York, of course, but I have a soft spot for Newport. Kismet Harbor actually reminds me of it a little bit. Just the small town charm type feeling." @atlasxyoung

"Count me in, I can never say no to a good breakfast," she chirped, always happy to shift her plans when there was a good reason for it and a hangout with a friend she hadn't seen for a bit always qualified as a good reason. Changing directions to head back towards the Early Bird, Aliye fell into step with Lou, walking alongside with her head tilted towards the other woman. "What's made me busy, oof. I just got back from filming, so long trip away and now it's all about catching back up with life here. It always kind of takes a bit to ease back into not being filmed all day." Her nose wrinkled as she said it, though the smile in her eyes showed just how much she loved that part of her life. "And what about you, Lou? Life keeping you busy too?"

"Perfect." She smiled as they both started walking towards the restaurant. While Aliye talked about what has been going on in her life, Louisa was quiet and nodded throughout the conversation. "I can understand that. I don't think I could handle it myself. It's why I prefer working behind the camera." She smiled at her before nodding. "Life, sure. Work is more like it. I swear just as I finish one thing, something else pops up." She laughed. "But it's all good. I love working." @aliyebalik

"Sounds like a reasonable excuse to throw a fit, honestly." Looking back at some of her outfits from when she was little, she felt that she could've thrown a tantrum or a few more back then. Taking the woman's hand, she let out a short chuckle for the reasoning behind the introduction. "Fatma Ceyhan-Aslan. And please, feel free to unleash whatever is on your mind." She mused, letting go of her hand. "Need help looking for another dress? Or well, would you like any?" @fatmaxaslan

She nodded with a smirk. "I thought so too." She shook the woman's hand and the started looking through the clothes again. "You are asking for trouble there." She laughed a little bit and shrugged. "Yeah. I would love some. And I can help you find something as well. Are you looking for something specific?" Louisa asked her curiously; ready to help as well as a thanks for helping her. "It's been a while since I've had someone I can shop with." @fatmaxaslan

Lance just closed his eyes for a moment, let out an heavy sigh after taking a deep breath and just feeling the cool breeze and letting the silence fall for a moment before it was broken by the others words. "Yes, it is coming up. I almost forgot," he spoke turning to look at her. Lance had been amazed how fast time had been going by fast. It was indeed insane for sure. "The accident really shake things up and I hear it was bad so, I will not blame the town at all."

She nodded. "Neither can I. It's sad, though. That second grade teacher dying like that." Louisa shook her head. It was a tragedy and she wondered how the family was doing. Lord knew she wouldn't be okay if her younger sister passed. As the man introduced himself, she put out her cigarette. "Louisa." She stuck her hand out for him to shake. "It's nice to meet you." @lancexbrowne

Hearing French in her office was definitely strange for Louisa at first. She had been on a phone call with the mayor when she first heard it, them discussing statement on how the renovations to some of the town locations were going, and then just catching up on how their lives had been. She had looked out to see a woman there and ended the call before going out. "Bonjour." She said back. "I'm Miss Sheridan. How man I help you?" @delphinextoussaint

She moved as he did and followed him down the hallway towards his office. "That's the spirit." Lou smirked, though she knew how it could be. Just because it could wait for tomorrow, doesn't mean you didn't want to do it right away. She had that issue more than once, but she was happy she could get him away at least for his birthday. She wouldn't have bothered him otherwise. "That I will." She grinned. "And don't you ever forget it." @christopherxmurray

"Maybe not, no." Fatma smiled sheepishly. When she was younger, she would always borrow her mother's dresses she no longer used to wear. Make them shorter, remove the shoulders, use a belt to make the waist more playful. But some dresses just weren't salvageable. "Pretty sure for me it's the former. I used to wear all kinds of things back in the day, now if I don't like the neckline, it's an automatic no." @louxsheridan

Louisa smiled and nodded. "My mother would say I've always been picky about clothes. If I didn't believe I looked cute, I'd throw a fit." She just really liked to feel put together. There was nothing wrong with that. "So a bad neckline is a great reason to say no." The blonde looked at the other woman and stuck out her hand. "I'm Louisa Sheridan. Might as well give you my name as I drop information about myself." @fatmaxaslan

In the weeks since coming back from filming, Aliye had been taking it easy with her schedule. The summer was still far from fully in swing, so her shifts at the beach were more limited. Aside from a few surfing lessons she'd teach later, her morning was empty and she was on her way to grab a coffee when she spotted Lou's familiar face. It had been awhile since she'd seen the other woman and she made a beeline towards her. "More than a minute, dude. It's been way too long. I've been good, though. Busy, as always, but good," she grinned, shifting to greet her friend with a quick hug. "You busy? I was just on my way to grab some coffee, we should catch up."

A laugh came from Lou as her friend called her 'dude'. She nodded before wrapping the other up in a quick hug as well and shook her head. "I was actually on my way to the Early Bird if you wanted to join me instead. My treat." She offered up as she pointed to the building not too far from them. She always liked a little company with her meals and Aliye would be the perfect person to have. "You can catch me up on what's made you busy." @aliyebalik

Shopping could work as therapy. And while Fatma wouldn't go and see a therapist for something so small, she found that retailing wasn't exactly doing wonders either. She was just mindlessly moving one coat hanger to the side and then the next, no matter if they were the same shirt. It took her a second when someone next to her addressed her, brown eyes looking up to face the woman and then the dress she was wearing. It was not her taste, but she would never speak such a thing out loud without knowing the woman's taste. "Well, the floral does look like something the elderly could wear, but I suppose if you accessorise it it could do wonders?" @louxsheridan

Hearing the woman's comment, she scrunched up her nose and nodded. "I don't think any accessory can help if it looks elderly." Lou put the dress back on the rack and sighed. Now she really felt like she should've taken the time to go to Portland to shop. She moved to another set of racks and flipped through them. "I don't know if I'm getting more picky these days or if fashion is just getting worse." @fatmaxaslan
