Summary
Alec raises his eyebrows, hands the cashier a wad of notes and wanders towards a table. If he wants to smile when Henchard follows him and takes the seat opposite him, well. He’s not about to admit it.
“I’m flattered that you're so concerned for my well-being.”Snippets of Alec and Tess before things started falling apart—or rather, just as things started to pull apart at the seams.

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.
