Summary
This wasn't supposed to happen. It isn't what they are. Their days were filled with small, nearly unnoticeable acts of service to one another to show that they cared. His eyes were supposed to crinkle up in a half-smile when she mouthed 'Dirty Brian' at a crime scene. He's supposed to make an extra cuppa for her when he makes for himself one in the CID kitchenette. Not risk his life to save hers.
This was too big, felt too much, for two people barely managing to hold onto a platonic status quo.

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.

Summary
Walking into the CID Ellie cautiously sniffed the air. The strange faint smell she had first noticed in the lift was in here too. It was pleasant, but too hazy for her to pinpoint the fragrance. Banning the puzzling scent momentarily from her thoughts, Ellie shed her jacket and bag at her desk before walking towards the small office kitchen. It was just after seven on a Monday and the CID was empty except for her and Hardy. She could already see him pottering about in the kitchenette, preparing two cups of tea and some toast for himself...
---Something is different about Hardy and Ellie it throws Ellie off the rails

Summary
“You still looked tired.”
“I can’t sleep the day away.”
“Evidently you can,” she said wryly. Hye Jin glanced him up and down, watching him fiddle with the coffee. This man had spent two nights in her bed now, with nothing more scandalous than a hand touch. It was comforting and maddening.
“I feel much better,” he admitted. “But I won’t impose on y-“
“I never changed my door code,” she blurted out. His eyebrows rose, his mouth opening and then closing. “Come when you need to sleep. Just don’t get caught.”
