    Summary

    "You all right?" she asks, not really listening to whatever grunt he makes in acknowledgement. His stubble has got tidied up, his neck shaved so that it all looks like a halfway respectable beard. He's wearing a grey suit with a darker grey button-up she's never seen before, but it doesn't look fresh, exactly. It almost seems like—

    "No," she says, suspicion growing along with her grin as she watches him blush. It's a comprehensive one: starts at his neck — more visible now — and goes clear up to his hairline. His very messy hairline, even messier than usual. "Really?"

    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

    “Could he have done it?”

    Hardy stares at her. “Miller, I just told you his alibi.”

    “I know, and I’m asking you, could he have done it?”

    Hardy pinches the bridge of his nose. “I don’t know. Maybe?”

    A year after closing the Winterman case, Hardy must investigate another rape: Miller's.

    Summary

    An ambulance was on the way. That was good. She tried to take in a full breath, aware that she was panting.

    “Then I couldn’t have been– out for only a few seconds– could I? If you had a full– conversation with– 999.”

    “Oh don’t be pedantic,” Hardy grumbled.

    Ellie glared back at him.

    “It’s my– poisoning and I’ll be– as pedantic as I please.”
