Nellie was alone in the house on a friday afternoon. Sweeney left her just a few hours ago to continue his " job hunting ". Nellie was folding his messed up clothes from the cabinet. She was in his room. The guest room, if that's what we call it.
She was doing this when the view outside from the window caught her eyes. She put down his shirt on the bed and approached the window.
She saw children running around the beach. Playing and having fun. She also saw herself with Sweeney, looking at each other lovingly and hugging their kids. It was just her imagination. She really wanted to carry the child with the man she dearly loved.
There was still a part of her that wasn't sure if Sweeney did love her. He hasn't showed his love for her too clearly. What he said to her was that he loved her but it wasn't that honest in her ears.
They had fun together. But during those days, something was telling her that his love for her was a lie.
What if he really just married her to use her?
What if he only wanted to have all the fun from her?
What if he was just playing some kind of game?
A joke.
A trick.
Tears began to fall from these terrible thoughts. She wiped them away when she saw his razors on the desk inside the box. She walked towards it.
Why did he keep them?
Is he gonna kill her when he's had enough of her?
Nellie looked at all of them. They looked so shiny and sharp. Imagine if one of those things would slit your throat.
She shook her head to drive away these thoughts. She went to her room and stopped by the door.
Events from the other night came to her. She smiled slightly at her thoughts when she heard the door open.
She went stopped at the middle of the stairs when she saw Sweeney, grinning at her.
" What? " she asked, confused at what he was so happy about. " You just look even more beautiful every time I see you. " he said when he took of his jacket. Nellie frowned at this. She never thought she was beautiful.
" You alright? " he asked when he saw her sad expression. " Yeah. " she said and continued her way downstairs.
" Did you find a job, love? " she asked as she passed from him and folded some blankets from the couch.
" Yeah, I did. " he said as he walked towards her. Nellie turned around and smiled at him. " Really? that's great! What? " she exclaimed and walked towards him. " Barber. But this time I work for someone. " he said and smiled slightly.
" I'm very happy for you, love. " she said as she placed her hand on his shoulder and kissed his cheek. She was truly happy that he finally got a job. And it was the job he was really good at. This would be a helping hand for them. Nellie approached the kitchen and cleaned it up.
Sweeney noticed something strange about her today. She's usually in a cheery mood and now she's in a worried expression.
" Pet, is there something wrong? " he asked as she watched her clean the sink. " No. Of course not. " she said with a fake smile and continued on her chores.

Sorry. I needed time to think this chapter through. And it's pretty short and boring. Double sorry: *
