The quaint charm of Riverdale transforms into a landscape of uncertainty as Herman, determined to unearth the truth, confronts Anastasia with questions that demand answers.
After many years, the school reunion brought everyone back together. They'd all been hustling in the real world, and now that they were all back together, it was inevitable that comparisons would be made. She used to be top of the class but look at her now. This was one of the reasons she was reluctant about attending the reunion.
Monica asked on the other end of the line, "Anastasia, you there?"
"Yep." Anastasia snapped back to reality. "I heard you, about the reunion on Friday. We'll see, if I have time, I'll show up."
Monica heard Anastasia's hesitation, so she didn't push further and just relayed the message. After hanging up, Anastasia was lost in thought on the balcony, not even noticing when Herman had snuck up behind her. He handed her a glass of water.
"Thanks." Anastasia took the glass, clearly preoccupied.
Herman, hand in pocket, looked at her, "What's eating you?"
Anastasia hesitated before revealing, "Monica just called, there's a reunion next week, she asked me to attend. A teacher who was quite nice to me will also be there."
Herman got it. "You don't want to go, but feel like you should, so you're torn."
Anastasia nodded.
Herman advised, "Just follow your heart. It's getting late, get some rest."
Herman didn't feel like it was his place to comment. He didn't know Anastasia's past. Anastasia couldn't exactly tell him that her ex-boyfriend would be at the reunion either. It was something she had to keep bottled up.
"Right, you too, get some sleep."
They said goodnight and went their separate ways to their rooms. Anastasia locked her door. Everything was calm that night, and all her previous worries seemed overblown. She had been over-thinking.
The next morning, Anastasia got up to make breakfast. After Herman had eaten, he left for work. She stayed home to clean and do housework. Since she didn't run her stall the previous night, she lost a few hundred bucks, so she had to make more jewelry today, set up her stall earlier, and make up for the loss.
