Hi you! *hugs* How wonderful to find you writing again. This is a perfect missing scene, it fits right into the movie. I can picture it so well, the spider and how Mrs. Lowett keeps an eye on the street, making sure it's Lucy-less, so that Sweeney won't catch sight of his wife, something she must have done, of course, since she knew all along. And this is really sad: He was thinking, thinking, thinking, applying the new word widower to himself, examining fifteen years’ worth of memories through its prism.

*hug and kiss* It's so nice to see you. I'm, like, asleep here, but I'm going to e-mail soon, promise!

Thank you. :-)

i love your writing style.great little details here,it really brings it to life. Loved this <3

She squeezed his shoulders, feeling the wiry muscle and all-too-prominent collarbone (that, at least, would be easy to sort out), hoping to press some life into him the way you rubbed cold hands to warm them.

and the Lucy/dead old leaves bit of imagery up there. very poetic. :)

Absolutely adore this.

Especially this line: She wanted to rub his shoulders, knead the grief out of him like lumps out of pastry

Thanks so much for sharing!
