That bleak smile of his spoke volumes about what a terrible person that Hickley was, with all of his planning and Alex frowned tightly before she looked around the crowded coffee shop. She has questions of course (when does she not have questions honestly?!) but she wants to try and set him at ease so she just asks softly. "Do you wanna get out of here? Talk at my place or my office? I've got scotch at both."

That she stole from the house but shush. If nothing else, it would be quiet there and Harry didn't need to worry that someone might overhear them talking about this. After everything with Richard, Alex is trying to be more aware of people's privacies. It doesn't always work, but at least she's trying here which is more than she did back home.
