If it was clear that voting Leave meant a hard Brexit what are we having these negotiations for?

I expect that a large number of Leave voters never believed that a hard Brexit would happen, mostly because so many people kept telling the public that a hard Brexit wasn't in either sides interests.

I'm really struggling to see a way out of this that doesn't at some point involve asking the people if they want a hard Brexit.
