It was a weekend and you had decided to meet up with a few friends. It was a small friend group which consisted of two people including you. The three of you had planned to meet up on Saturday, have a movie night and then finally leave again on Sunday morning. Alec had of course agreed for you to go, because that meant for him he would have a bit of time to relax (which he would obviously use to wreck his head about some case).

He was surprised when he got a few texts from you asking to pick you up from the bus station in Broadchurch, not far away from your friend's house. And was of course worried.

He drove off and picked you up. The car ride was silent for the most part, when eventually Alec's worries got to him. "Is everything alright? Anything happen to make you wanna leave or..." Alec trailed off, glancing at you from his peripheral vision.
