Reading way too much into this deleted scene right now. Help.
Alec’s reaction with the long exhale and the clenched jaw…and Joe’s first instinct being to look over at Alec…was this scene supposed to happen before or after Ellie and Alec are accused of having an affair? This is important.

Gossip Girl Inspired Sentence Starters
I was watching an episode of Gossip Girl when I wrote this so some are plucked straight from the episode while others are paraphrased/inspired by actual lines.
“The truth is… I was jealous.”
“My date stood me up.”
“I’m here with someone else.”
“I think I’ll pass.”
“That won’t be necessary.”
“I believe you.”
“I promise, I won’t do it again.”
“What are these?”
“This is my way of saying thank you,”
“What are you doing here?”
“You need to leave.”
“I’m not leaving without you.”
“I got fired,”
“I’ll prove it to you.”
“Prove it.”
“What the hell is going on?”
“It’s time for you to step down.”
“I’m not ready for that.”
“It’s probably best that you move out.”
“What the hell are you throwing out the window?”
“Are you willing to get a haircut and burn your clothes?”
“You used me.”
“How could you do this to me?”
“I thought I could trust you.”
“We’ve got a huge problem.”
“You know, you said this was yours, but I just can’t seem to find your name on it.”
“Did you really divide the room in half with tape? Is this a nineties sitcom?”
“Nope, it’s definitely your turn.”
“I thought you were better than that.”
“Coffee. Now.”
“Are you even awake?”
“We were sworn to secrecy.”
“Just give me a hint!”
“Is everything okay?”
“Who was that?”
“This would do way more harm than good.”
“That’s what I was trying to tell you.”
“Can we give this another shot? Please?”
“I need some time alone.”
“I’d do anything for you.”
“Don’t touch me.”
“This is it, this is the answer to all our problems.”
“I hadn’t even thought of that.”
“That’s just not who I am.”
“We’re a very rare breed.”
“Okay, you convinced me.”
“Are you excited for tonight?”
“Think they bought it?”
“I’m sorry that you had to find out about that.”
“I don’t want to go.”
“I hate to admit it, but I think you were right.”
“We’re going to be late!”
“Who the hell are you people?”
“What are you doing at my house?”
“Wait, are you serious?”
“Is that so?”
“You were there for me when no one else was.”
“I told you how important this was to me.”
“It wasn’t personal.”
“I want you gone by the morning.”
“Tell me the truth.”
“Honey, everything you say is a lie.”
“Stop saying that.”
“Just stop talking.”
“It didn’t work.”
“What? No, no, no, no, I’m not in love with _____. No. Nope.”
“Can we go inside now?”
“It was you, wasn’t it?”
“Don’t you see what you’re doing?”
“I don’t think I can do this anymore.”
“Do you see those people leaving? Why don’t you join them?”
“I can’t believe you thought I would do that.”
“I think you’re self destructing. And you’re taking me down with you.”
“I thought you realized…”
“Forget it, it doesn’t matter.”
“We’re usually blinded by the people that we love.”
“That’s the best part.”
“There was a huge misunderstanding.”
“I was kidding!”
“I told you a secret, now you tell me one.”
“It’s better this way.”
“We don’t have a lot of options.”
“This isn’t the end. I know it’s not.”
“You shouldn’t be here.”
“I had to come.”

"Quit stealing the covers." (from olly)
SHARING A BED STARTERS ╳ @aspiringsouls
Ellie can’t sleep, and not for a lack of trying.
She should be checking up on Luce right now, she reflects – surely her sister wasn’t faring any better, now all alone in her empty house. Wasn’t easy, having to stare down the barrel of single parenthood… Ellie can’t even bear to imagine the prospect of ever having to deal with something like that. She can’t leave now to call her sister up though, and with good reason: namely, the young boy sleeping by her side. Though her sister’s always been particularly headstrong, she’d at least acquiesced to Ellie’s offer to take care of Olly every now and then. The last thing Ellie wanted to do now was to rouse him accidentally by getting up. Lost in her thoughts, Ellie’s mind inadvertently flits to thinking about her sister’s husband. Her teeth grit, her jaw sets, and digits tighten their hold on the covers - the man was a fuckwit of the highest degree. He was a pillock; a wanker; a blooming arsehole-
“Oh! ’course, sorry.” ( Turns out waking Olly isn’t something she has to worry about, after all. ) “Sure you don’t want to stay in Tom’s room, instead? I know he’d love that.” Her son idolised Olly already - the boy had declared, time and time again, that he wanted to join the Sea Brigades just as soon as he was old enough to, just like his older cousin.

Save for quick lunches with colleagues ( and even the cafes she frequented then were usually kid-friendly ), it’s been a while since she’s frequented the sort of restaurant Alec’s specifying. They did have the occasional meals out, just her and Joe --- they’d drop the kids off at the Latimer’s, or get a babysitter for a few hours, but still... it’s been a while since then. Been a while since she’s had a proper sit-down meal out, come to think of it - meals while on a case were usually takeaways, or quick pre-packaged food like sandwiches or salads. Many, many, many cups of tea. Just Kit Kats and packets of crisps, if she was really busy.
Ellie matches his pace, hands stuffed deeply into her coat pockets. “It’s not... fancy, is it, this place we’re going to? Am I dressed alright for it?” He’d be fine, in the event the place had some sort of dress code - never did seem to change out of his suit unless he was at home. At any rate, his plan seems to be working... there’s no mention of what he’d been up to for the past twenty-four hours, now.
Hardy enjoyed this kind of weather, not too sunny yet the clouds held a certain cooling that bode well with the ocean air. He could smell it even from here. The salt and sand. Sand everywhere. Even if he looked down there would be just a bit of it on the ground. Here and there and more of it as you approached town. The only agreeable thing he found was that everything was within walking distance. Once he had ushered Miller out, he stood a good distance from her in case she decided to wack his arm and for good reason. Walking quietly not quite knowing exactly what to say. But her words made him glance over at her and gave her a face. For a long time he didn’t answer, taking steps slowly before lips parted.
“ Supposed’ to be walking and not eating ‘rabbit food’ as my bloody doctor put it. ” Hardy’s words were short and muttered, pausing in his brisk walk to let Miller catch up. “ Out of all the places … “ McDonald’s … he swore to himself, “ No Miller, a proper place with tables and plates and without screaming kids all about the place. ” the words hit him before he realized it, more and more this sounded a bit more official then just two mates going for food. Hardy sighed and pointed towards a direction in front of them. “ Over there, I used to go there before headin’ into the office every mornin’. “
#dishitface#v:the end is where it begins#[excuse u alec you try having a good time at a fancy restaurant while trying to manage two kids at the same time#he'll have to tell her not to order a burger or fish & chips probably tbh like 'omg stop for the last time no fast food allowed']

All previous attempts at common decency fly out the window as she takes Alec’s question as an insult. ( Because that’s what it is, isn’t it, accusing her of having no friends? ) Features contort into a fierce scowl, and if Alec wasn’t already entering the kitchen to usher her out of it, she’d have stomped out to him in confrontation. “Of course I do, you bloody-” The orange parka is brought out then, and the sentence has to come to an abrupt halt as he tugs the piece of outerwear over her shoulders, Alec clearly intent on getting them to leave. Was the prospect of her cooking really that bad? And just like that, she’s herded out of her home in fifteen seconds flat, scarcely giving Ellie enough time to grab her handbag on the way out. She shoves at his torso lightly in retaliation, glowering still. “---wanker.”
Silence follows for a few seconds as she checks her handbag to make sure that she’s got at least the bare essentials to go out: keys, wallet, purse, and when that’s done, she looks as if she’s recovered from his rude outburst. She learnt not to take it to heart - he’s like this nearly all of the time, and it looks as if Alec’s making an effort to do something nice by taking her out for a meal. “Nice day for it,” she comments finally. Considering how gloomy and grey the skies above them are looking coupled with the faint inflection of sarcasm in her tone, it’s likely that Ellie means to imply that it’s anything but, but she sets off walking regardless. “Fine. Gather we’re not going to a Mcdonalds then, yeah?”
The moment she turned around he slouched in the chair, taking in a long and drawn out breath through his nose. Where her fussing used to irritate him to no end he now held a certain appreciation for it. After Sandbrook, after learning of his wife’s infidelity, the near destruction of his career. Hardy had lost perspective of where his limits really were. Ellie had come into his life in time to make him see, if not a little, better of where those lines really where. Crossing his arms over his chest, his eyes wandered around the room as he heard her rummaging in the other room.
Taking that quiet moment and relishing it for what it was worth, though it broke when he heard Ellie’s ridiculous question and suggestion. Brown eyes looked over and lips parted, almost in disbelief. “ Oh god no, come on Miller. ” Lean frame already up and out of his chair he ushered her from her kitchen. “ Could use some fresh air, when is the last time you went out? Do you even have any friends to do that with? ” Hardy, well aware of his nature, attended to helping Ellie with her coat. Anything to deter her from asking any further questions about where he had gone, and for him to ignore the purple bruise that lay under his recently laundered shirt.

“If I didn’t fuss, you’d be driving yourself to an early grave.” She points out tersely. In fact, he has. Just ‘cause he had a pacemaker implanted now didn’t mean anything - in the year or so since she’d known Hardy, Ellie had yet to see him take a break. If it was going to happen, surely now was as good a time as any... with Broadchurch receiving less and less nationwide press now, it was once again just a charming -if somewhat obscure- coastal town. Even as a DI, Ellie’s positive that the other’s workload can’t be heavy enough to warrant him disappearing on her for ages without so much as a ‘goodbye’. And it is his workload; that’s another thing she’s absolutely positive about --- if he were, say, visiting Daisy, he’d have no reason to be prevaricating so... wouldn’t have come back in such a sour mood, too.
Ellie ceases watching him like a hawk as soon as he’s sat obediently at the dining table once more, her focus now on rummaging through the fridge and her kitchen cupboards in search of something Hardy would find appetising. She’d said she’d feed him, didn’t she? Even if he was being difficult. “Did your doctor say anything ‘bout your diet? Are chicken nuggets alright?”
you scared the shit out of me, Hardy. Her words made him turn, it would be almost too easy to leave and ignore her words. When they had first met she would bring nothing but irritation and frustration but now … placing a hand on the door as if he were to leave he dropped it. He remembered that night so clearly. Having to mute his phone and eventually turning it off, approaching the home and even finding him. Luckily he hadn’t spotted Hardy as he walked around the busy halls, gaining access by presenting himself as an on duty DI looking for a suspect. He had to be sure. He had to be sure that Joe would stay away, far away from Broadchurch, and far away from Ellie. … because I felt bad for you okay?
“ Don’t be fussy Miller. ” he said lamely, sighing as he shifted his thoughts to food. Categorizing his recent meal from several hours ago. “ Fine! For gods sake. ” As if it would be nothing but hardship, he moved back to where he had been sitting prior. Not willing to admit that he had inwardly wanted to stay.

@dishitface cont. from x:
Hardy didn’t reply immediately, his eyes measuring her for a long moment as he reviewed the past twenty four hours. Logically, the former detective within had told him over and over that he had been utterly reckless. Ignoring that very fact as he had plainly put his own life in danger going into that half way house without backup. Without a way of protecting himself. But he had too. He had to see what had happened to the man that was once married to his best friend. His partner. The rumors he had heard were too alluring.
Shifting in his seat, he had remembered just then that Miller had no idea why he had disappeared.
Only that he had come close to being shot in some drug addict’s house without back up and without his gun. Former Detective Inspector Alec Hardy should’ve known better. “Yeah well, I won’t be for a while now. ” unknowing if his own sarcasm leaked into his words, Hardy tore his gaze away before standing slowly. Wincing as his muscles ached and protested against his movements. “ I am going home. ” He concluded as he wandered away from Miller before she could protest and do something nice awful like offer to drive him home.
Instead of offering an explanation, Hardy only sets one of those tragic glances of his onto her. Big, brown, doleful eyes, and her heart twists in her chest. “Don’t do that.” Don’t fix her with a look like that and then shuffle off as if the weight of the world he was carrying on his shoulders was his to burden and no one else’s, she means. Not to her. Weren’t they friends? Or, at least, partners? Yet, he reappears looking like an absolute wreck, but still refuses to share why --- it frustrates Ellie to no end. Only... she knows she has a tendency to let her anger get the best of her sometimes - it’d happened countless times already with Hardy, where she’d snapped at him or, even once, had thrown things --just her car keys, but still!-- at him. It’d happened once with Joe, when she’d first found out about what he’d done.
------ Losing her temper at Hardy now wasn’t going to get her any answers.
Deep breath: inhale, exhale. Inhaaaale, exhaaale. Then she tries again, her voice softer, her sentences notably absent of expletives. “You disappeared for hours - didn’t say where you were off to, didn’t pick up my calls... you scared the shit out of me, Hardy.” ( Clearly, she needs work with the expletives. Cut her some slack, though - she’d been worried sick. ) “Thought you’d passed out somewhere an’ hit your head. I’ll make you something to eat, and you tell me what’s going on.”

"I'll sleep on top of the sheets."
SHARING A BED STARTERS ╳ @dishitface
“Yeah.” Though it’s only happened once before this, it’s quickly becoming a fixed arrangement. Never mind the fact that Hardy no longer had a condition – despite how he’d insist persistently that he’d never had one in the first place – and could now sleep on the folding cot propped up by the telly… she’s not about to mention it if he doesn’t. The first time, she’d been being NICE by inviting him into her bed… Ellie’s not about to do the opposite now and kick him out, and especially not when he’s coming to bed willingly, this time. The bed was big enough, wasn’t it?“——No, don’t be silly. Housekeeping’s already said that they’re out of spare blankets for the night… not going to have you freeze to death. The court trial’s over - nobody’s going to care.” ( Well, he might. )
