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 parked her butt in the lounge area of Neon Dreams, waiting for Herman. She whipped out her phone and started googling recent news on Rainbow Haven, hoping to dig up any dirt on her daughter.
Just then, two gals sashayed in through the entrance, chatting and giggling. One of them, a curly-haired babe, spotted Anastasia in the lounge and froze like a deer in headlights.
"What's up? Hurry up, if the man's kept waiting, he'll blow a gasket," the other woman chirped.
"I think I recognize that gal over there, but I'm not sure," the curly-haired woman said, squinting at Anastasia. "Hold your horses, I'll go check her out."
As she approached Anastasia, she gave her a once-over and asked tentatively, "Are you...Anastasia?"
Anastasia looked up at the woman, a puzzled look on her face. "Do I know you?" She didn't have a clue who this woman was.
Hearing Anastasia's response, the woman let out a chuckle and took a seat. "I'm Melinda, don't you remember? It's been five years since we last saw each other. You're still as young and pretty as ever, not a day older. But me, I've aged a lot, so you probably can't recognize me."
"Melinda?" Anastasia couldn't recall when she'd made a friend named Melinda.
She took a closer look at Melinda, who appeared to be in her late twenties. Despite the chilly weather, she was wearing a sexy, skin-tight dress and reeked of strong perfume. Her makeup was heavy, making her look like a hooker from Neon Dreams.
"I'm Melinda, seriously, you don't remember? Five years ago, right here in Neon Dreams, you helped me out of a bind. Mr. Winchester was forcing me to drink. You saved me from a spiked drink. I've never forgotten your kindness."
If it weren't for Anastasia's help that day, Melinda probably wouldn't have remembered her. Mr. Winchester was known to be a lecherous and perverted man. Melinda had been abused by him and almost lost her life. She was terrified of him. She thought she was trapped, but then Anastasia stepped in and got her out of the hot water.
"I've been here before?" Anastasia couldn't remember a thing.
