Thank you for the reviews!

After this chapter, I don't really know where I'm going with this yet, so it might be a while before the next update. A few of you have asked if it's going to be a Todd/Lovett fic, and I'm not sure yet, since I don't really know where this is going, but there is a chance that it might end up going there.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

They were met with Lucy's screams almost immediately upon entering the parlor. Nellie couldn't believe how she could have possibly forgotten about her.

Lucy was up on her feet, backing away slowly and once again screaming, "Demon! Demon!" at Mr. Todd.

Nellie saw that Lucy was backing away towards the bookshelf, and knew she had to act fast before Lucy started throwing the books. The last thing Nellie needed was for someone to get hurt, or a window to get smashed.

She quickly made her way to one of the back shelves, and stood on her toes to get to the highest one, where she kept the box of toffees out of Lucy's reach. Having finally grabbed the box of sweets, she rushed toward Lucy, hoping that she would be able to distract her with the toffees.

"Lucy…look what I have for you." She held the box out towards Lucy, who stopped, her hand only inches from picking up a book.

A huge smile spread across her face when she recognized the box of toffees.

"For me?" She said hopefully. "All of them?"

Completely forgetting about her earlier screaming fit, or the fact that Mr. Todd was in the room, she ran eagerly to Nellie, her face full of joy at the thought of having all the toffees to herself.

"They're yours if you only promise to go to your room and stay quiet." Nellie told her.

"Oh, yes, Nellie, I promise!"

Lucy would say anything just to get even one toffee, Nellie knew. Still, she also knew that Lucy would obey and stay in her room, and she wouldn't even notice that the box only had a few more toffees left in it.

"Go on, then, I'll bring you the toffees." Nellie knew not to give the box to Lucy first, because she would just sit on the sofa and eat them right there instead of going to her room.

"Toffees, toffees, toffees, all mine, all mine!" Lucy sang as she skipped happily to her room.

Nellie followed Lucy, and gave her the toffees when she was in her room and sitting obediently on her bed.

As soon as the box was in her hands, Lucy tore it open and devoured the first toffee.

"Thank you Nellie!" She said, her mouth full of the sweet.

"You enjoy your toffees, love." Nellie smiled at Lucy before closing the door and returning to the parlor to Mr. Todd.

He had stayed quiet the entire time, much like before, but now that she was back, he spoke.

"She fears me."

"Oh, love, she'll come around. She's just not used to you yet, is all." Nellie didn't know if that was in fact true, but she felt she had to say something reassuring.

"Now, let's get them razors, hmm?"

She made her way over to the bookshelf and removed a few books from the left side of the top shelf, setting them down on the floor beside her.

"I keep them back here so she won't get to them." She explained, while reaching behind the books still on the shelf. She fumbled around for a while before pulling out a dark box.

"Ah, here we are."

She felt him behind her and her breathing quickened. She liked to think that he was there because he was drawn to her, but deep down she knew it wasn't her that he was he was interested in.

Nellie quickly dusted the box off and turned to him. Her heart fluttered when she noticed how close he really was. She held the box out and he took it from her hands carefully.

She watched him, mesmerized, as he slowly opened the box and admired the razors. A small smile played on her lips as he took each razor out gently. She kept watching as he caressed the razors, opened them, then closed them again, whispering things she couldn't quite make out.

Her heart beat even faster, all the feelings she had for him from so long ago stronger than ever.

"I suppose I'll be leaving you, then" She said softly, not really wanting to leave. He gave no sign that he heard her, gave no indication that he noticed her hand brush his shoulder as she walked past him to go through the curtain.

Once in the kitchen, Nellie decided to sneak one last glance at him before cleaning up the flour that was everywhere.

She ended up staying like that, holding the curtain back while leaning against the door frame, watching him in her own trance.
