ALONE TOGETHER ° SWEENETT

Sweeney had always had a soft spot for Mrs. Lovett. Even before he was sent to Australia, he would come down and eat in her meat pie emporium every day. He even had his own special seat. The feeling started growing stronger, and Lucy noticed this. She didn't mind that he thought Nellie was pretty. She was very pretty, and he is a man and that is to be expected for him to see this. No, the only thing she was mad about was how much he liked her. "It's her or me Ben." she said sternly, right after he had come up from her shop. "Its you. Its always you." he drunkenly said, only she wasn't so sure.

That night she died, she realized what this feeling was. The way he looked into her eyes was irreplaceable, so obvious. She wasn't even bothered that he loved her now. She just wanted him to be happy, and hopefully, he would notice his feelings just as she did.
