Sweeney Todd and Eleanor Lovett do their usual routine together. Him, slitting his customers' throats and dumping them in the bakehouse, and her, turning his victims into meat pies and serving them to her customers.

Also, Sweeney started to visit her in her shop more often. They had talks about London, business and other things. They both enjoyed it.

It's been days since the incident happened to them. He's been thinking, from the days that past, about that day.

He didn't even pull away from her. Maybe he's starting to have feelings for the baker.

Could it be possible that he can finally learn how to love again?????

No. No. Of course not! There's no way a cold-hearted, murderous barber would fall for a baker who turned his victims into tasty meat pies.

COULD HE?

......

Nellie Lovett was sitting at one of her counters with her elbow resting on the cold table and her head on her palm and staring at the rain just outside her window.

It had been a long day for her. She had lots of customers today and had trouble thinking.

Yes, she was thinking about what happened from the last few days and how Sweeney started being nice to her.

He even kissed her and told her she was beautiful. Will he love me?, she thought. Will her dreams finally come true?

No, it couldn't be. Sweeney's still in love with Lucy even if she was dead. But Nellie also loved him more than anything in the world! She would do anything for him!

She took care of him, she cried for him, she burned the bodies of his victims and hid all the evidence and she also loved him even if he was a changed man. A monster he was.

And let's not forget, she waited for him, waited for him for FIFTEEN YEARS! Unlike Lucy, the bitch poisoned herself because she became impatient, leaving baby Johanna with Mrs. Lovett.

She was left alone with the child of the man she loved. But she was not the mother, Lucy was. She survived the arsenic but she wasn't herself anymore. The judge took the baby from Nellie and adopted her.
Oh how cruel that man was! Sweeney was right. He did deserve to die. Suddenly, she was interrupted from her thoughts when the door opened.

She didn't turn around 'cause she knew it was Sweeney. Maybe she's really getting used by Sweeney's sudden presence.

" Sweeney? " she said. They're both starting to call themselves by their first names. It was strange, though. Why were they even calling out they're last names?

" Yes, it's me. " he said when he entered the room and walked towards her.

" Oh. " she giggled and ending it with a smile. " What's so funny? " he said. " Nothing. " she looked at him with a smile but not showing teeth.

He smiled back, meeting her eyes.

" What are you doing here, love? " she said, looking down at the table and patted the empty spot across her, telling him to sit down. He sat down and disappeared his smile.

" I wanted to talk to you, about Johanna. "

" Yeah, sure. What is it? " she said as she leaned closer to him so she could hear. " Do you think she's safe? " Sweeney said when he met her dazzling eyes.

" Well. She's got that young sailor around to take care of her. So, she'll be fine. " she said when she pat his shoulder and put it back at the table.

" I also wanted to tell you something. " he said when he wrapped his hands. " And what is that? " she giggled in these words.

" I think I'm falling for you. "
