Sweeney woke up on the sofa. He guessed he fell asleep with all that thinking. He expected that Mrs. Lovett would be preparing breakfast for them now.

He was starving. So, he stood up and headed for the kitchen but she wasn't there. Where could she be? He searched the whole house but he couldn't find Mrs. Lovett. He's starting to get worried.

wait. HE'S WORRIED?!

No. no. He couldn't be worried about her. She's a grown woman who can take care of herself. Besides, maybe she just went to the market for some things.

With these thoughts in his mind, he went upstairs to his barbershop and started pacing like he always does. Minutes went by and she still haven't returned. And he's starting to starve even more! He lost his patience and took his coat to go look for her.

He went everywhere! the market. the neighborhood. THE WHOLE FLEET STREET!

Where the hell is that woman?! he thought. But then he remembered a place where she might be. A place where they went together. So, he headed to where he thought she was.

...

Mrs. Lovett sat on the grass underneath a tree. It was the place where she and Sweeney sat down and had a picnic together a few weeks ago.

She raised her gaze to look at the sky. Oh how beautiful it was! The sky was blue and fresh morning air was touching her face. The place was crowded.

No one else was there except her. It was just a single tree to where she sat underneath at, lots of grasses, the blue sky and healthy fresh air.

She closed her eyes to feel this moment. She felt someone sat beside her. She opened her eyes and turned to her right to see who it was. It was just Sweeney.

Suddenly, the memories last night flashed on her head. She immediately looked away and stared at the sky again.

" I thought you left. " Sweeney said. He was also staring at the sky.

" Really? Why? " she says putting her head down and looking at the ground to where Sweeney sat. Sweeney turned to look at her eyes but couldn't find them.

She was wearing a black dress again with a bit of red somewhere. Her hair was still tied into a bun and wild as always. Her lips were dry.

He had to admit how beautiful she was. He tried to stop these thoughts but couldn't.

" Because I couldn't find you anywhere around fleet street. " he said, frowning. " And this was the place I thought you could be. "

" Mmm. " she says when she raised her head again to look at the sky. Sweeney just sat there and stared at her. Suprised by her beauty.

She was even more beautiful when you look at her in side view. Her lips, her nose and her eyelashes were the only ones that caused to form lumps on her face.

She looked so perfect, so beautiful. Oh how badly he wanted to kiss those beautiful lips again. Nellie was still staring at the sky.

Also, she was mesmerized by the beauty of it. She didn't even notice that Sweeney was staring at her.

" Beautiful. " she said when she formed a smile on her lips.

" Yes, you are. "

Nellie looked at Sweeney with shiny eyes. She looked into his eyes to see if he was telling the truth or not and he meant it.

Knowing this, Nellie dropped her head again and looked to the ground with blush on her cheeks. Sweeney still couldn't take his eyes off of her.

What's gotten into him?!

First, he started the kiss last night with Mrs. Lovett.

Second, he's really mesmerized by her charms.

Last, HE COULDN'T TAKE HIS EYES OFF OF HER?!

" Well, we better be going back to the shop now " she said with a sigh and started to stand up so did Sweeney.

But before both of them could gain their balance, a part of Nellie's dress got strangled up around her foot.

Nellie started to fall but she took Sweeney's shoulder to properly stand up but instead both fell to the ground with Nellie on top of Sweeney.

They both laughed at the little accident they had. " I'm sorry. " Nellie said in a laugh and made Sweeney giggle.

Then, both stopped laughing and looked into each other's eyes. Nellie's hands were on Sweeney's chest as she looked at them awkwardly.

Sweeney placed his right hand on her cheek and caressed it with his thumb and was suprised at the softness of her face.

" You're Beautiful. " Sweeney said with a smile. Her brows furrowed as she thought that she never saw him smile or laugh before.

Both looked at each other's lips again. Nellie kissed him as her left hand was now placed on his face. He kissed her back.

Sweeney's hands moved down her body and stopped at her waist. And his hand was still touching her cheek and enjoying the softness. Nellie stopped the kiss to catch her breath.

She placed a soft kiss on his lips and stared at him for a moment and stood up. Sweeney stood up too and now they were both standing and looked at each other then looked down shyly.

" We should be going. " Sweeney said and glanced at her. " Yes. " Eleanor said and did the same. So, they started walking back to fleet street. Both avoiding conversations and looks.
