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.
No matter if she could see Tavon or not, Salma felt she had to make the trip. Her mind just wouldn’t settle otherwise.
Even if there were no lingering feelings, they had shared something special in their youth. And when Anastasia had hit rock bottom the last time, Tavon hadn’t abandoned her. That brought Salma some comfort.
Anastasia had booked Salma a flight for the next day. With Pattie having school and Anastasia’s own commitments, Salma would have to go alone.
The next morning, after dropping Pattie off at school, Anastasia drove Salma to the airport.
“Mom, call me as soon as you get there if anything comes up, okay?”
“Sure thing, honey. And take care of yourself too. Don’t overdo it. The seasons are changing, so make sure Pattie dresses warmly. We don’t want her catching a cold.”
“I will.”
As boarding time approached, Salma headed through security with her luggage.
After seeing her mom off, Anastasia hailed a cab back home, calling Monica on the way. Her minivan had broken down and was now at the mechanic’s, thanks to Monica’s help.
Monica, already bustling about in her bakery, laughed when she picked up. “I’ve fronted the repair costs, Ana. I thought Jason could’ve fixed it. Turns out he’s pretty useless with tools. I helped crack a case for him for free, and he didn’t even buy me a latte. Now he wants me at the station this afternoon to sniff out more problems... Honestly, Ana, Jason’s taking me for granted, treating me like a bloodhound or something…”
Anastasia just listened, chuckling as Monica ranted about Jason for a good ten minutes. She had no idea Jason had been looking for her at the Night Market that evening.
After Monica finished venting, Anastasia teased her while pulling up to the mechanic’s. “You should ask Jason for a salary with that keen nose of yours. Who knows, the police force might make an exception and hire you full-time. You’d have job security then.”
Monica’s laughter spilled through the phone. “Oh, shut it. Am I getting paid in cash or dog treats?”
“Not sure about the cash, but I’ve been on the receiving end of plenty of dog treats on this ride. Are you sure you weren’t just showering me with them? You and Jason have such chemistry; don’t miss out.”
“Enough already. I could never go for a stiff, boring guy like that. I’d sooner become a nun than fall for someone like Jason.”
“We’ll see about that,” Anastasia chuckled. “I’ve got my car now, and thanks for covering the repairs. I owe you a latte. I won’t be shy about it; after all, I could use a leg-up from a big shot like you.”
