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.
Anastasia had been hanging around the neighborhood entrance for almost half an hour when Herman rolled up in his Chevy. Spotting the familiar ride, Anastasia sprung up with a grin, opened the door and hopped in. "Where are we heading? Monica and I already had our grub, what about you?"
"Grabbed a bite." Herman twisted slightly, buckling Anastasia's seatbelt for her.
His distinctive scent engulfed Anastasia, and his handsome face was so close it made her heart race. He always had this subtle floral scent that was just irresistible.
"You'll find out when we get there."
After fastening her seatbelt, he snuck in a quick peck on her lips before settling back into his seat.
Anastasia's eyes widened in surprise and he chuckled. "Hold on tight."
Her cheeks turned a shade of pink and a shy smile spread across her face. She muttered under her breath, "Such a rogue."
He took one hand off the wheel to hold hers and drove out towards the outskirts of the city.
An hour later, they arrived at the highest hill on the outskirts. Standing on the viewing platform, they could overlook half of Riverdale. The wind was strong atop the hill and the night was chillier. Herman had come prepared, he handed Anastasia a thick coat to keep her warm, then led her towards the viewing platform.
"You brought me here for the night view?" Anastasia glanced around. “I heard this hilltop’s usually a hotspot for night-time hikers, why’s it deserted tonight?”
"That just means we got lucky, and no one will bother us." Herman brought her to the edge of the viewing platform, jesting, "Darling, take a good look, this is the kingdom I've won for you."
At this, Anastasia couldn't help but chuckle and turned her gaze elsewhere.
He chipped in, "I haven't won that side yet, just focus on this."
"Herman, when did you turn into such a joker?" Anastasia laughed.
The night view here was breathtakingly beautiful. Neon lights glittered as far as the eye could see, and the hustle and bustle of the city sprawled out before them, seemingly endless.
"I've always been too caught up in life, and never took the time to admire our city." Anastasia smiled. "It's really pretty, so charming."
He held her from behind, joining her in admiring the cityscape. "But it doesn't hold a candle to you."
She turned in his arms, back against the railing, arms encircling his waist, looking into his dark eyes.
