Armed with a pot of jasmine tea and a prized piece of art for good measure and good luck (Daisy Henchard-Hardy (b. 1997), Mug For Dad, 2005, acrylic on ceramic), Ellie taps on Hardy's door and doesn’t wait for him to call her in. Head in his hands, he’s still staring down at that little piece of paper, shoulders slumped and fancy shirt creasing with his poor posture.
It might have been a tea-and-biscuits level situation.
Ellie tries to offer Hardy comfort in a trying time. She might need some, too.
