"You stupid girl. Do you not understand I need to back by tonight? My daughters have a recital that I do not intend to miss."

Andrea could tell that the flight clerk was having trouble not bursting into tears on the spot. Miranda had brought out the claws on the poor innocent minimum wage employee. Lucky for the younger woman, the older woman's fury was not turned upon her this time.

All the flights leaving Alaska had been cancelled. Leaving Nigel, Emily, Miranda, Doug, Serena, Andrea, and Miranda stuck in some godforsaken wilderness location that would soon be experiencing the full force of a blizzard.

There was a small town with one bed and breakfast with no other place to stay. The B&B had two guest rooms and one master bedroom that were almost never used. Miranda had gotten private cabin near the site for herself whereas the rest of them stayed in city. The models had stayed in private houses in town that they had paid the owners to let the stay in. The models had left last night saying that they could not stand the smell of rotting fish any longer.

Now the team was stuck together for about a week while the blizzard past and machine equipment was checked after the blizzard. The team had taken a private jet from Elias-Clark Publishing. The pilot apparently was not used to having the plane after such heavy conditions and would thus take an extra day to check everything out in this below freezing weather.

Andrea remembered having Miranda yelling at her to get her home during a hurricane. The poor flight clerk would surely never make it. Andrea had almost walked out on Miranda because of such wicked ways in Paris, but the younger assistant had stayed out of some misguided need to stay close to Miranda. Not until they got back had Andrea realized that she had feelings for the Dragon Lady.

These days Andrea would do anything to be close to Miranda. Recently, she had become invaluable to her boss, not that the editor would ever admit it. Two weeks after Paris, Andrea had started volunteering to look after the twins while Miranda went to divorce attorney meetings. This way the twins could get out of the house on their nanny's days off on Sundays.

Now Andy went with Roy to pick them up from school while using him to help her run errands. At first, Miranda's comments had been biting about the whole ordeal, but Andrea had been almost as persistent as the twins had been with their mother about the arrangement. Andrea didn't take them home immediately, she often times let them wait in the car with Roy while she went in the buildings to collect whatever her boss needed.

It was much more convenient for the young assistant to help the twins with their homework and their studies rather than having to do their projects and reports for them because they were confused on the subject matter that they never took the time to learn. Andrea found it fun to read the same books as the twins were in their classes. It allowed her to have conversations with the Cassidy and Caroline about books. Cassidy was the quieter of the two and tended to be more interested in books. Caroline tended to bond with Andy over movies, art, and the occasional talk of fashion. Caroline was very much her mother's daughter. Though, both twins found Andy lacking in the department of fashion talk and decided to not to force her to talk about it too often unless helping coach her for an event with their mother.

The twins had become one of Andy's greatest allies in getting close their mother. They had insisted that Andy attend every one of their events alongside their mother, much to Miranda's disapproval in the beginning. The truth was the Miranda had feelings for her young assistant, and she found it hard to keep her icy demeanor around Andy. The girl was perfect, always helping beyond her greatest expectations. After that night in Paris, Miranda had become friendlier to Andrea. When not at work they had an unspoken friendship thanks to the twins.

Now, they often times spent sharing in a nightcap together after Andrea delivered the Book. It helped relax both of them talking about some private matters. Andrea was having a rocky relationship with her parents because of losing Nate and choosing to continue to work for Miranda. For runway's editor, there were many issues plaguing her mind that would distract her without Andrea's listening ear. The divorce had all but turned Miranda off of men. Stephan had been a bastard from the beginning. It was a marriage of convenience not passion or love. The older woman had revealed that she thought at the time that the twins needed a male figure in their life after their father had all but ago abandoned them to go after some twenty something year old twit.

Both women were secretly pleased to learn that the other was not dating nor looking to date someone else at that time, though neither would admit this to the other. The tentative friendship had allowed Miranda to unwind and to be less cruel to her two assistants allowing Emily a moment of peace at the office. She now felt enough peace at her job life to finally gain the courage in her personal life. With this courage she was able to ask Serena to dance one night at the club with Nigel and Andy. That night they had completely sober sex. They have now been dating for a month. They don't live together but Nigel and Andy have a bet on who will cave and ask the other move in first. Emily and Serena were both madly in love with one another. It was only a matter of time before they decided to marry, which would only happen if the two women would cave in and trust the other's feelings.

Andrea had gotten Doug a job as Nigel's assistant. Doug won't probably last as his assistant considering the sexual tension between them is huge. They will end up fucking each other eventually and then Doug will have to get a job where Nigel isn't his boss. Miranda had already made that clear to Nigel. Of course, as her only friend, besides Andy, had just smirked telling her that she would be wise follow her own advice. Since then, they had not spoken about Doug or Andrea outside of the work sphere. Miranda was too afraid of Nigel's knowledge about her love for her assistant. She wouldn't even let herself dream that something, even a drunken tumble in the sheets, could ever occur between the too. The editor had serious self-doubt when it came to her nonexistent love life with her young assistant.

"I don't care what you have to do. Get me out of this miserable little sinkhole."

Andrea felt really bad for the girl at this point and decided to put herself in the line of fire. Putting her hand on the older woman's arm, breaking the one of the sacred Miranda rules, "Miranda, give the girl a break. We won't be making it back to see the girls tonight. I will call their nanny and get her to record it for us. I sure the girls will understand."

"You don't understand, silly girl."

"I don't understand? Miranda, I know this is your way of showing your girls that you care, but please just give," squinting to read the clerk's name, "...Tamara a break."

Glaring like she normally does would have sent chills down anyone's spine, except Andy's, who was used to Miranda and her moods by now. With a final glare Miranda storms off in the direction the others are seated. Andy murmurs a sorry to the clerk before chasing after the devil herself.
