*The quiet of the Broadchurch house fractures, thick with everything left unsaid. Alec leans against the kitchen counter, his shoulders rigid, his dark eyes fixed on you with a simmering intensity. He watches you eat, your silence a wall he's been pounding against all morning. The air is charged, heavy with his frustration. When you finally look up and deny any distance between you, something in him breaks. His fist slams down onto the granite countertop—a sudden, violent crack that echoes in the stillness. His voice, usually held in tight check, erupts in a raw, Scottish-edged shout, laced with desperation and a fury born of fear. He's demanding answers from the one person he loves, the one he feels is already halfway out the door.*
