Mrs. Lovett was in her room confused about Mr. Todd's behavior. He had been so nice, almost loving today. Has finding the truth about Lucy and knowing that Johanna is safe changed him? But what about his behavior before, he had been so worked up about everything. Maybe her dreams would come true. Life by the sea, or better yet, life with Sweeney Todd. Mrs. Lovett or Nellie as she liked to be called by her friends and neighbors, knew she couldn't compare to Lucy's beauty; or the beauty she once had. But she knew she could compare to affection and love. She would do almost anything to make Mr. Todd happy. She was already baking his victims into pies to hide any evidence. And if anybody came poking around looking for them she would make up some silly excuse, like "They were here, they said something about going to the market." Or something of the sort. Nellie couldn't understand why Mr. Todd kissed her twice, and each time he was the one that planted it. Than she shook her head, "I must be a bloody idiot." She thought to herself. "Mista T would never love me." She got into her bed and was some what lullabyed to sleep by Sweeney's pacing.
Meanwhile, Sweeney was pacing in front of the window holding his picture of Lucy and baby Johanna, staring at Lucy. "She forgot." Sweeney thought to himself, he glanced at it once more and than closed it. "It's time to move on, she's gone." He said to himself. Lucy Barker was gone. All that was left of her was her body that still circled the streets of London. Once again he thought about Mrs. Lovett, her beautiful pale skin, like pearls; her brunette curls that were put up in a strange yet utterly attractive way. And her cheerful smile that always brightened up the room. Sweeney sighed. Maybe moving on wasn't going to be a lot harder than he had expected, he was thankful that he had Mrs. Lovett there to help him out of the darkness. But the part of him that wanted vengeance came back to him. "No!" he yelled, loud enough he woke Mrs. Lovett. She got out of bed, put on her jacket, and went up to see what the matter was. The bell to the shop rung as Mrs. Lovett entered the room. Sweeney was sitting in his barber chair staring back into space.
"Mr. T? Everything all right?" Mrs. Lovett asked as she tried to fix her eyes upon his. Sweeney's cold, black eyes had always enchanted her.
"What?" He asked, coming out of his stare.
"Are you alright?" Mrs. Lovett asked, putting her hands on her hips.
"Yes, I apologize for waking you." Sweeney replied. Sweeney looked over at Mrs. Lovett, the candle that flickered next to her lit up her face, her beautiful brown eyes shown in the light. Sweeney's feeling for passion once again bubbled back to him. He watched her breath in and out for what seemed like centuries until she started walking to the door. He got up, not wanting her to leave, and grabbed her. He swung her around and pushed her against the wall; he pulled a razor out of his pocket and pressed it against her soft flesh.
"What, what are you doing?" Mrs. Lovett asked nervously, afraid to breathe.
"Where are you going Mrs. Lovett?" Sweeney asked with a husky voice.
"Back to bed, where do ya think I'm going?" Mrs. Lovett replied, the cold razor gave her chills as Sweeney pressed it harder against her skin. Sweeney's freezing hands made her shiver. Sweeney stared into Mrs. Lovett's warm eyes, and she stared into his cold and empty ones. They were so close, so close that Mrs. Lovett felt his warm breath against her body. Sweeney looked into her eyes once more and turned around. He could not resist temptation. There she was, in front of him, looking as beautiful as ever, strangely it was only until today he realized how much he cared for her and thought of her more than his business partner and his land lady. And there he was, an insane and confused monster; whose best friends were seven pieces of silver. Mrs. Lovett continued standing there, she was worried that he was going to turn around and slit her throat. But instead, he turned around, and put his precious 'friend' back onto his belt. Sweeney stood there for awhile not knowing what to do, finally he turned around and looked straight into her eyes; and kissed her. Right then and there. A part of Mrs. Lovett wanted to pull away; she knew he didn't want her, only for her advances, or so she thought. Yet she didn't. There was just too much love for Sweeney in her heart to ruin this moment.
They continued kissing passionately for what seemed like hours until Sweeney pulled away, "No! Damn you. Bloody woman!" Sweeney yelled. "No, no." he thought. "What about moving on?" he kept thinking to himself. "No, no. We can solve this; we can get rid of her once and for all!" He reached his hand for a razor, but he stopped. He couldn't do it, he… couldn't possibly… maybe… he loved her… he didn't know what came over him, killing people was a way to release his anger. But he couldn't kill Mrs. Lovett, something, somewhere in his mixed up mind told him not to. "She is taking over your mind we have to stop her!" Evil thoughts rushed through Sweeney's mind. "Go" He finally whispered
"Mr. T?" Mrs. Lovett asked with great confusion and worry.
"Go! Out!" Sweeney yelled trying to protect Mrs. Lovett from himself.
Mrs. Lovett looked at him and than ran out of his barber shop. She stopped behind the door, two tears ran down her cheek, she was so confused. Never could she be with the man she loved more than anything. Mrs. Lovett ran down the stairs and back to her room; she closed the door and started to cry her eyes out. Mrs. Lovett never cried, she never even cried when her dear Albert died. She was such a strong woman, but her heart felt like it had been shattered into a million pieces.
