Sandy had set up dinner at this cozy little spot called "The Cozy Kitchen." Before heading out, she swung by her mom Ashley's place to give her a heads-up and make sure she didn't accidentally spill the beans.
When Ashley got the news, she froze like a deer in headlights. She had no idea Sandy had been keeping Herman, a whole person, under wraps!
This was playing with fire. One slip-up, and it could all blow up.
Ashley was on edge, just like Sean had been. Nervous.
But Sandy? She only saw the benefits, the wealth, and how Herman could boost her pride and ambition.
Shaking, Ashley said, "Sandy, I don't know if I can meet him. I'm scared. This is Herman we're talking about. What if he remembers everything?"
"Mom, why are you so worried? He doesn't remember anything, right? He just wants to meet you guys. Just think of him as Nicholas's son, okay?" Sandy reassured her, holding Ashley's arm. "Mom, my happiness is in your hands. Salma took your husband, and now I'm taking Anastasia's. Isn't that just fair?"
Sandy sure knew how to twist things. Ashley's unresolved feelings were all tangled up in Tavon and Salma's messy past.
Hearing Sandy's reasoning, Ashley's eyes flashed with bitterness. "That Salma, she's got some nerve. Just look at her! She snatched your dad like it was nothing. Back in the day, she'd have been run out of town for that."
Sandy: "..."
Ashley was clearly venting about Salma, but her words hit Sandy too. Wasn't she doing the same thing—stealing someone else's husband?
Ashley gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. "Alright, Sandy, I'll meet Herman—or George, as he's called now. I'll make sure the wedding's set. Salma took my husband. So, my daughter will take her daughter's husband. That's justice."
"Great! I've booked a table at The Cozy Kitchen for seven. It's already past six, so you better get ready to head out." Sandy checked the time and realized they were cutting it close.
"Okay, I'll go change..." Ashley started, but her words were cut off by Sandy's phone ringing. It was Herman calling.
Sandy hurriedly answered, putting on her sweetest voice. "George, I got us a spot for dinner. I'll text you the address. You can head there first, and I'll have my brother pick you up. Mom and I will be there soon."
