Miranda had been loving the photos that her assistant had been sending her and was looking forward to seeing more. As she sat at her desk looking at the latest photos, she had an idea. "Emily", she called out softly, barely waiting for the young woman to rush to her before making her demands, "Get me Santa on the phone".
The woman looked rather confused, "You mean…".
She did not get to finish her sentence before the white-haired fashion Queen interrupted with a wave of her hand, "Bore someone else with your questions".
Her assistant nodded and ducked out of the room quickly, opting to go with her instinct and call up Roy to find out which Grotto he had taken them too. She then called the Grotto to get the 'Santa' on the phone. She spoke to a rather kind woman called 'Libby' who seemed to be the manager at the Grotto and she was rather quick at finding out which of the five Santas had been the one that the twins visited that afternoon.
"I have Santa", the redheaded assistant called out whilst covering the microphone part of the phone with her hand before shaking her head and mumbling, "I never thought I'd say that…".
Meanwhile, inside Miranda's office, the Editor-in-Chief picked up her phone, "I'm calling as I would like to find out what my girls have requested for Christmas".
"Of course", the man replied, "Both girls asked for the same things". "The first thing that they asked for was to see the 'Cursed Child' play in London, the second thing was an XBox One with games, and the third thing was…", he paused momentarily.
"And the third?", she prompted with slight impatience.
"The third was a little more… difficult", he commented before answering the question, "They want their Andy to be their second mother… for real".
"Oh…", Miranda commented without meaning to, but when she caught herself she asked, "And what did Andrea ask for?".
"Well, she seemed reluctant to ask for anything at all but the girls were rather insistent upon the idea", he explained, "She even tried to explain that she wasn't sure I could help get her what she wanted for Christmas". "The girls insisted, however, that I would be able to get her anything she wanted in the entire world", he continued, "So she told me, or rather, she whispered to me and told me that what she wanted was… well… you".
"Me?", Miranda questioned instantly.
"Yes, you", he confirmed confidently.
"Are you sure of this?", the woman asked rather sceptically.
He nodded, despite being unable to be seen through the phone line, "I am as sure as can be", he answered.
"Thank you", she whispered before putting the phone down.
'Santa' was smiling when he put the phone down on his end, he had been warned by his boss to be on his best behaviour and that it was a very important customer but he did not exactly follow fashion so he did not, in reality, know very much about the woman and nor did he know how rare those whispered two words actually were. He did know, however, that wishes were very likely to come true that year.
