Homecoming week, apparently the most important week at Riverdale High. Even back in New York I was never interested in these kind of events. Veronica explained to me, since our best friends are football players and also head of the planning committee, I have to go.
"You ready to go Vi?" Veronica asked, finishing off her strawberries.
"Yeah, let the torture begin." I joke, following her out to the dining room.
"That's incredible, Paul." Our mum looked ecstatic while she talked on the phone. "You will keep us posted, won't you? Okay, thanks...Thank you."
"Some good news for a change?" Veronica asked, once mom hung up.
"That was your dad's attorney. Turns out, both of our statements did make a difference and the judge seems inclined to give your father a break." Mom told us, a grin forming on her face.
"How much of a break?" I demanded.
"Time served. A few more months, if that." Mom explained, looking throw the mail.
"And then what? We move back to New York?" Veronica asks, not looking too impressed.
"Or your father moves here." Mom shrugs.
"What about the crimes he's committed?" I asked in disbelief.
"Including, maybe, Jason Blossom." Veronica adds.
"Stop it, both of you. There is no proof that your father had anything to do with that. Violet he is willing to forgive you, so stop accusing him of things." Mom snapped, pointing a finger at us both.
"He's in jail because of the Blossoms, Mom, that gives him a motive." Veronica reminded her.
"Okay. Both of you need to be supporting your father, not demonizing him." Mom tells us, grabbing both of our hands in hers. "Again, for things that you have no proof of."
Then we need to find proof, I though. Veronica looked as though she had the same idea.

"Violet wait up." Archie called, catching up to Veronica and me.
"I'll meet you there." I promised her, gesturing for her to go ahead.
