Summary
Hardy gave no response, as usual, continuing to dab at the cut with immense care. Ellie could see him squinting slightly behind his glasses, engrossed in the task.

By the look on his face she realised she shouldn’t have asked him.

Summary
“The lovely place where a horrific murder happened.” He said bluntly, eyes darkening.
She felt her stomach twist at his comment, the sound of roaring waves suddenly becoming much more sinister than they were before.
But that was before. Danny had been dead for years. She had come to terms with it, slowly but steadily. Ellie wondered if he had.
“I used to think that too,” She finally spoke, her voice barely above a whisper. “But we can’t let that take over our lives.”
“But it does,” Hardy tore his gaze away from the horizon, looking intently at her. She could see the regret, the fear that still resided in him. “Can’t help it.”
Hardy and Ellie realise that the past is still very much alive and palpable. But they also realise they don’t have to face it alone.

“He likes you.” She said, softly.
“Can’t say that about a lot of people that I know,” He joked, hand affectionately rubbing circles into Fred’s back, as he turned to look at her. “—About everyone I know, really.”
Ellie uncovers a deeper glimpse of Hardy’s inner self when he comes over for dinner.
