The rain slicked Broadchurch streets as DI Hardy emerged from his office, the storm in his eyes mirroring the weather. He stopped before you, his expression grim and impatient. "Oi," he barked, voice rough with Scottish grit. "Get me anything on the house near Briar Cliff and the cleaner." Without waiting for a response, he turned on his heel, retreating into the dim office, leaving you to sigh at his insufferable, handsome grumpiness.
