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 show a bit of interest in Julie, and Grannie Anita noticed. It seemed like it would take some effort to play matchmaker between the two.
“Since you’re too busy to hang out with me, Herman. I have to ask Julie to accompany me shopping. What’s so fun about playing cards anyway?” Grannie Anita chided, “And you, Herman, why don’t you greet Julie properly? You two practically grew up together.”
Only then did Herman glance at Julie. For Grannie Anita’s sake, he managed to say, “Ms. Brown.”
The formality of his greeting hung awkwardly in the air.
Grannie Anita nudged Herman. “What’s with the ‘Ms. Brown’? You two are close enough to be on first-name terms.”
Herman remained unmoved.
Julie, sensing the awkwardness, tried to break the tension. “Herman, what would you like to drink?”
Without waiting for Julie’s help, he signaled to the waiter. “A latte, please.”
“Certainly, sir,” the waiter replied, promptly leaving to prepare the order.
Grannie Anita, playing the matchmaker, attempted to steer the conversation. “Julie, I remember you once wore a beautiful white dress when you visited us. You looked so pretty. Herman even complimented you and told me he wanted to marry you someday.”
Herman frowned. “Grannie, I never said that.”
“You were too young to remember, but I kept it in my mind,” Grannie Anita replied, laughing. “I thought to myself. Once Julie grows up, I’ll let Herman marry her.”
Julie blushed. “Grannie.”
“Why shy? You like Herman, right? This is just perfect.” Grannie Anita teased. “If it weren’t for Anastasia’s sudden appearing, you’d already be my granddaughter-in-law.” The disdain for Anastasia was evident in her voice.
Herman chose not to argue, knowing it would be pointless.
As Herman kept silent, Grannie Anita decided to excuse herself to give the two some space. “Herman, I’m going to the restroom. You two chat.”
Once Grannie Anita left, the atmosphere grew tense. Julie glanced at Herman out of the corner of her eye. Noting his frosty demeanor, she stammered, “Herman…”
Herman interrupted her with his cold voice, “Ms. Brown, it seems you’ve forgotten how to address me properly.”
