It was around midnight and Sweeney still couldn't catch any sleep. So, he went down to get some ale, if it helps when he saw Nellie outside. She was sitting on the sand and staring at the night skies. "Maybe she can't sleep too",he thought. He went outside and sat beside her. She just rested her head on his shoulder.

" Nellie, I've been thinking. " Sweeney began. " What? " she asked when she took his hand and started playing with his fingers. " Maybe I should find a job. " he said. Nellie looked at him in a curious way. " Why do you say that? " " It's just.. days without doing anything is quite boring and pretty soon we will need money. " he said when he looked at her.

" Yeah. I think you should. When are you gonna find one, love? " she said when she dusted invisible dirt on his vest. " Maybe I'll start tomorrow. " he said. " Or maybe you could just open a barbershop. "she said.

" What do you mean? " he asked. " No. I don't mean you should-. Do you? " she asked if Sweeney wanted to kill again.

She was fine with him finding a job. That would be very useful for them. But the only thing of what he was very good at was shaving but she wasn't sure if she wanted him to slit throats again. How will he hide the victims?

" No. " he said when he took Nellie's waist and kissed her forehead. " I don't have too. You're all I want. " he said with a smile and looked at her lovingly making Nellie smile. She hugged him and kissed his cheek.

" I love you. " she said. Sweeney hugged back and kissed her hair. " I love you, too. " it was pretty hard for him to say those words when he really meant it. He was officially in love again. He broke his promise to not love anyone other than Lucy Barker but that was the past and she's dead and he finally moved on from those memories.

Suddenly, Nellie pulled away and stood up. " Come on, dear. It's getting cold out here. " she said as she reached for his hand. Sweeney took it and stood up then went back inside.

Nellie woke up and stretched herself. She saw a note on top of her dresser. She took it and read it. She smiled when she did. Written on the piece of paper was:

"

I'm out to find a job. Will be back in a few hours. I left your breakfast on the table.

I love you

,Sweeney

"

She stood up and went out to the dining room and ate her breakfast. She was starting to grow hungrier everyday. She wanted to eat more when each meal pasts by. So, she had nothing to do than to wait for her husband. She checked her calendar to see what day it was.

Her birthday's already tomorrow. Time moved fast. She wondered if Sweeney knew.
