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.
Herman didn't fully understand. The nicer he was to Anastasia, the heavier her mood seemed to get. His kisses were always so gentle, like the soft brush of spring breeze.
Her hand moved towards his belt...
"Anastasia." Herman caught her hand, stopping her immediately. "Your wound at your waist... it's not healed yet."
"I want it." Anastasia pushed him down onto the bed, straddling him. "I know what I'm doing."
With that, she bent down and initiated a kiss. Anastasia had never been this forward before. Her hand slipped under his shirt.
That night, fearing he might hurt her, he was even gentler than usual.
Afterwards, Anastasia lingered, her fingertip lightly tracing his face, outlining his features in the dim light. He held her, sensing her unusual mood, and said, "Go to sleep."
He knew that Anastasia wasn't ready to come clean with him. She had something on her mind, and it must have something to do with that thing. He had noticed something off about Monica and Salma's expressions during dinner, too.
"Mm." She hummed in agreement, closing her eyes to sleep. Perhaps she was too tired, and she fell asleep quickly.
Herman, however, couldn't sleep. He propped his arm under her head as a pillow, gazing tenderly at her sleeping face in the dimness. Some things needed to be dealt with in advance.
The next day.
Anastasia was up early, preparing breakfast for everyone. Salma, also an early riser, heard the noise and got up too. She wanted to help in the kitchen, but Anastasia shooed her out, telling her to relax in the living room.
Salma went to check on Pattie in her room. Pattie was still sleeping, looking so pitiful it tugged at people’s heartstrings. The bruises from the beating she had taken were still visible.
Herman was in their bedroom, freshening up. When he came out, dressed, Anastasia had finished making breakfast. "You have to go to work, so eat first. Pattie and I will eat later."
She didn't have the heart to wake Pattie up, hoping to let her sleep in a bit more.
