Summary
“You know the point of going to the pub with the people you work is to get to know them,” she said, gesturing at their coworkers sitting in a booth on the other side of the room, a couple of whom were eyeing them suspiciously. “Why’re you over here?”
He scowled. “I don’t want t’get t’know them. If I did, I would’ve done it by now.”
“So why come at all?”
“‘Cause you wouldn’t stop asking.”
Slowly, awkwardly, inevitably, Miller and Hardy become closer. And go to the pub a lot.

Summary
“What reason did Lee give for going to France, again? And did you ever get any leads about this person they supposedly saw lurking across the street?” Her questions are met with silence, and she looks up to see that he’s paused, seemingly unable to tear his eyes from the tiny figure asleep on his couch.
“Uncle Alec, mm?” he murmurs, half under his breath — like he’s testing it out. Ellie’s surprised breath must catch his attention because he doesn’t quite start when he realizes he’s been caught staring, but the tips of his ears go red as he turns to her with a scowl.

Summary
The first scotch lifts the weight of Pippa’s body from his arms. The second clears the water from his lungs, the third takes the unrelenting worry from his head, and by the time Miller and Claire have gone back to their rooms, he’s stopped counting by drinks and started counting by sluggish heartbeats.
Alec takes things farther then he means to.

Summary
“You’re staring.” He flopped down into his office chair, twisting off his hospital wristband and quickly tossing it in the waste bin next to his desk.
“And you’re bleeding. One of us is being unreasonable here, and it’s not me.”

Summary
“Morning, sir,” she says warily, looking him up and down. Nothing seems terribly off—yesterday’s suit, Monday’s shirt hastily ironed this morning, spare glasses tucked into his breast pocket after his regular ones were the unfortunate victims of a bored Fred—but something here is wrong.
Hardy is, perhaps for the first time in his life, acting pleasant. Ellie can only assume that something terrible is happening to him.

Summary
Armed with a pot of jasmine tea and a prized piece of art for good measure and good luck (Daisy Henchard-Hardy (b. 1997), Mug For Dad, 2005, acrylic on ceramic), Ellie taps on Hardy's door and doesn’t wait for him to call her in. Head in his hands, he’s still staring down at that little piece of paper, shoulders slumped and fancy shirt creasing with his poor posture.
It might have been a tea-and-biscuits level situation.
Ellie tries to offer Hardy comfort in a trying time. She might need some, too.

Summary
His arm twitches, as if he’s about to shake her hand but thinks better of it. “Dr. Hardy. Come in, take a seat.”
He looks as tired as she feels. He's probably no older than she is, mid-forties at most, but his cheekbones are too sharp and his every move too weary and as her eyes wander to the empty pot of low-fat, low-salt instant noodles on his desk, she wonders when the last time he had a home-cooked meal was.
Ellie feels like she's drowning. Her husband is a murderer and a paedophile, her son hates her, she can't return to the only place she's ever called home, she hates her job, she hates Brighton—and now she can't sleep.
She finds relief at a walk-in clinic.

“Oh that’s brilliant, thanks. Of course he will.” The irritated tone doesn’t hide the wobble in her voice, nor the tears in her eyes still threatening to spill over. “He’ll just come around, won’t he. Just like your daughter did.”
Miller and Hardy run into each other a week after S1.

Summary
It's not all that hard, once she gets started. She's a folkorist, an archivist. She's used to reading stories. And Annie loves her parents, but she's also in her fifties, long past the realization that they were people in their own right, with their own lives, their own stories.
By the time she's halfway through the pile, she's immersed.
