Chapter 3
It was a rainy afternoon and Sweeney Todd was at his parlor shaving one of the few customers he had that day.
After the Judge died he had promised to Mrs Lovett that he wouldn't kill anyone else . This irritated him a little but it was also nice that he started working as a barber again.
He finished of the customer and wiped his face with the cloth.
"We're done ,sir."He said. The man said nothing, he just gave Sweeney the money and left.
Sweeney stared out of the big window and noticed than neither Mrs Lovett had a lot of customers that day , which made sense of course since it was now raining cats and dogs.
He suddenly craved a nice glass of gin so he quickly got downstairs and entered the pie shop. He found Mrs Lovett washing the dishes.
"Oh ,hello luv!" She said when she noticed him. "Need anythin' ?"
"I just came for a glass of gin." He said and started searching for a bottle.
"Oh sorry luv, we're out. Toby drank all of it last night and I didn't have the time to go get some. Would you like some Ale instead?"
Mr Todd sighed in annoyance. Damn that little alcoholic... "Sure, it'll do. " He said and went to grab a glass of Ale.
Suddenly he heard glass shuttering and Mrs Lovett letting out a small gasp. He turned to see what happened. Apparently a glass slipped from her hands and broke into the sink.
He approached her to help her clean up . He noticed that there was also blood in the sink .
"Mrs Lovett , you're bleeding ."He said stating the obvious.
"Well thank you Captain obvious..."She said , slight annoyance in her tone.
"You should get the pieces of glass and bandage it before it gets infected."
"Right.." She looked her hand and tried to remove a rather large piece of glass from her hand. Sweeney saw her face twisting in pain.
"Let me see that." He said taking her hand in his. He tried to ignore the fact that she was staring him. "It has gotten quite deep in your hand. This might hurt a little..." He carefully took the piece of glass out of her hand and tossed it away. He then removed the smaller pieces .
"Wash your hand from all that blood." He said and she did as she was told. In the meanwhile he went to fetch a bandage from the bathroom. When he returned he carefully grabbed her hand once again and wrapped the bandage around it.
"Here you go." He said finishing off but not letting go of her hand.
"Thank you, Mr T." She said and looked deep into his eyes.
Sweeney was lost in her gaze . He stood there and admired her big brown eyes, they were filled with love and care. Her intense gaze made him melt.
Toby who just entered the shop broke them apart , that special moment the had just shared was over.
"Mum ! "The boy said. "Wot happened to your hand?" He eyed Sweeney suspiciously.
"Oh nothing luv, just a little accident...Thank God,Mr Todd was here and helped me out."
"I should get going..." Sweeney said and got out of the shop casting Nellie one last glance.
