Sandy's words really threw Sean for a loop.
Sean stared in disbelief. "Sis, have you lost your mind? Are you seriously thinking about marrying Herman?"
Sandy chuckled confidently, "Do you think I'm kidding? Sean, only a man like Herman is worthy of me, and only I am worthy of him. Once we get our marriage license, even if things go south, I won't be worried."
Sean protested, "This isn't right. You're talking about getting involved with a married man and breaking up a family."
Hearing this, Sandy's expression changed. "Are you calling your sister a homewrecker?"
Sean realized he might have been too harsh and quickly added, "I'm just worried about you getting hurt. Herman doesn't love you. What if he remembers Anastasia and his family back in Riverdale? What then?"
"I can give him kids too," Sandy said with determination. "He's going by George now and has nothing to do with the Salstrom family. Sean, you're my favorite brother. Help me out, won't you? Don't you want to see your sister marry a great guy?"
"Of course, I want you to have a good life, but..." Sean was conflicted.
"Herman is my happy ending. Please, Sean, you have to help me," Sandy tugged at his sleeve, pleading like she used to when they were kids. "You're the best, and once Herman and I tie the knot and start a family, I'm confident he won't leave me, even if he remembers the past."
Faced with Sandy's plea, Sean found it hard to refuse. After a moment of internal struggle, he nodded. "Alright, whatever you want, I'll support you and help make it happen."
"You're the best, Sean," Sandy exclaimed, hugging him eagerly.
Seeing Sandy so happy made Sean smile. His biggest wish in life was to see his sister happy and healthy. That's a promise he made to her long ago.
No matter what Sandy became or did, to Sean, she would always be the kind-hearted, gentle sister who spent her childhood sick in the hospital, needing protection.
Sean suddenly remembered something. "By the way, when I was leaving, Dad mentioned he’s heading to Riverdale."
Sandy stepped back, her expression hardening. "Is he going to see that mother and daughter again?"
Mentioning Salma and Anastasia made Sandy’s eyes go cold, losing all the warmth and charm from before.
