"You need me?" She breathed out she couldn't believe what she was hearing. She was hoping so so mich to hear the words she's been waiting for so long, longing for so long.
"Yes, I need you to get well so we can get the judge." He answered like it was nothing.
"The judge?" Eleanor frowned not understanding what he was talking about.
"Yes the judge, look." He took out an envelope from his pocket named to Mrs. Lovett and he gave it to her.
"An invitation for me? So.. what does that have to do with my healing?" She said getting annoyed now because she didn't understand any of it.
"You have to heal so you can go to the ball and take me with you and we can gett the judge."
Eleanors facial expression changed, so he needed her for that? He was doing all this fort he bloody judge, all that taking care of her? She looked at him wanting this to be a joke but sadly he was serious.
"Get out Sweeney" she put the invitation on her bedside table and shiged heavily, she was so dissapoined, so ashamed that she'd thought otherwise, that she thought he was starting to have feelingss for her.
"Eleanor?" he frowned his eyebrows he couldn't understand, didn't she want to go?
"Please leave me alone" she had no words for him, not a single word could explain her disappointment, she wanted to cry and sank further in her bed.
He still was frowning and didn't understand what was going on "Eat a little" he put the tray on her bedside table and left her bedroom.
Her eyes where full of tears "Bloody barber!" she said angrily pulling her blanket to her nose and couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

The better that Nellie gets the lesser they saw each other. Nellie was agry at him and had distanced herself. She got up, got her dress on with difficulty and went to the kitchen.
"Bloody barber, all that taking care, all that worrying for me to get to the judge, well I'd teach you a lesson. I'm sick of it, sick of his behavior!" she muttered to herself when she walked to her shop.
"Mom are you sick again?" she heard Toby asking he heard her speak to her self and was sitting on the boot when she came in.
"Huh, oh no I was just muttering to myself love" she gave a sad a little smile hiding her sadness from him.

Sweeney had distanced himself from her too beceause he didn't know what was going on with him, he couldn't get her out of his mind, her pretty face, her smile, her maddening beauty.. every curve of her body he'd seen.. he couldn't get it out of his head and began to lust for her, to yearn for her, he was trying so hard to hide it. He couldn't forget it so he was drinking, what had happened the last few days was too much for him, saving her, take care of her not to mention see her naked and get close to each other. He'd taken care of her beceause he'd wanted it, no one forced him, but all he thought was Eleanor he wasn't even thinking about Lucy anymore, he thought the less they see each other the better it is for him.
Yet he couldn't avoid coming down because he started to get really hungry since Eleanor hadn't brought his food upstairs. When he came downstairs to eat he saw Eleanor come out of her room with the doctor and immediately got a strange feeling. He heard them talking.
"Your wounds are getting better Eleanor but don't start working right away think of yourself, I'll come again" he put his hand on her back Sweeney clenched his jaw when he saw that.
"Don't come just to look at my wounds I'd like to let you taste my fruit pies that I'm thingking of making" she was enthusiastic when she talked to the bloody doctor and when even did he start calling her with her name they weren't that close for god's sake it was so inappropriate. Not only that since when was Eleanor making fruit pies? Sweeney wondered.
