Finally letting out some emotions beside anger she knew it was all to much for him too first that he killed Lucy his wife without knowing it, than losing Johanna just when he found her, then.. Toby even if he wasn't that close to him she knew he had gotten used to him. And now she.. to better to say both off them, he wasn't thinking off himself, it was her he had dragged her along with him and he felt quilty about it he made her suffer but how on earth could he leave her.
He looks at her loosing Toby made her different, would she ever became the same woman, would she ever be the old Eleanor? He knew she loved him but he never thought she loved him this much, to give up everything. What would he do without her he didn't know.
She too was in her own thoughts sitting on his side her head leaning against his shoulder her hand on his chest waiting in the cellar, it had been a couple of hours they both didn't say anything further she knew he would feel embaressd if she said anything about him crying and he was thankfull she didn't. They were talking with their silents. Much to her suprize he then enwitens his fingers with hers freely hand for the first time like confirming what he had confessed earlier she looks at him suprized at his actions he never showed affection not besides sex or kissing and she knows that wasn't affection for him it was a need for woman touch but he once was affectioned as Benjamin.. Looking up at him she meets his eyes, he was looking too at her. She wonders what's gotton in to this man, she didn't know but she loved the warmth he gives her.
Startling with the sound of the opening trapdoor they both looked up expecting to see officerscoming down "Are you alright?" Mary's voice came speaking at both of them but she's looking at Eleanor as soon as she comes dow concerned about her state "We wanted to be sure they were gone an wouldn't come back" she informed them
Sweeney and Eleanor looked dumpfounded.Eleanor got up, Sweeney immediatly followed her taking her hand she looked at him not knowing why he took her hand now was he just holding her hand? but she had no time to think about that now. They followed Mary up to the ground floor once they were upstairs they looked at each other not knowing what to expect, Sweeney wanted to help Eleanor "I can manage" she insisted to walk herself "Come" Mary motioned with her hand to follow him into the parlor where Richard was pacing he saw the two coming in and waited until they were sitting on the settee. As soon as they sat down they looked at Richard and Mary in silence.
"Two bodies were found in the woods not to far from here, murdered with cuts to their troath is it a coincidence with the cut on your arm Mr Lloyd?" Rchard finally spoke looking at both of them.
Just as Sweeney was about to open his mouth "I did it" Eleanor beeted him to it Sweeney closed is eyes in frustration he was going to say it was him, say that he did it so she would be out off it, free off all this why was she taking all the blame now they are going to blame her for evertything. .
"I did it, I murdered them, beceause they wanted to harm us for the money, I had to he did nothing they were going to kill him, the cut on his arm happened beceause he tried to fight them off" she speaked further, desperate to save him.
"No.. stop it!" he finally interrupted her and looked at Richard and Mary "Don't listen to her she didn't do anything it was me" now he was the one who took it all on him.
"No, he was not it was me he is lying to save me" she turned to Sweeney "It's okay, you have a reason to live, please just don't do this for me.." he knew she was talking about Johanna and now she lost Toby she didn't want him to spare her life, she didn't want to go on with her life. How much times more would she give up on her own life.
Her words were like knives in his back they were hurting him."No you have, for god sake you have me don't you see!" He finally spoke that made her stop speaking further, they stopped arguing and they looked into each othes eyes her eye brows moved a little hearing his words for a second he could see her eyes glistening with hope but it was soon over when Eleanor tried to remind herself that it was just all a part o him acting like a caring husband so Richard and Mary would believe them.
