Andy was finally sitting in Doctor Simpson's office. It had been 3 weeks since she had thrown Nate out of the apartment and three weeks since Andy realised she was going insane.
On the Monday morning after the Benefit Emily tore the office apart looking for the phone number. The look on Emily's face when she was told
"Give it to Andrea; she'll know what to do with it."
almost made up for the week of dirty looks and Emily telling everyone how Andy wanted her job. Each and every night since the benefit Andy had dreamt about Miranda, thankfully the phone number had been that of Doctor Simpson. Andy saved the e-mail that Miranda had sent her that afternoon.

Subject: Number 3
I'm sure by now you have realised Doctor Simpson is a psychotherapist. Google however will have failed to tell you that he is one of the few left in the New York area that I haven't attempted to have struck off. Your list of demands should now be complete. I overheard Emily threatening to lace your coffee. I highly doubt she would but take care; I'd hate to think about the amount of paper work that would create.

Miranda has assured Andy that things would go back to normal when she left the hotel on Sunday morning, however on the odd occasion she would slip up, something that Andy appreciated. Andy realised Dr Simpson was talking again.
"Andy I hate to say this but I don't think there is anything I can do. Dreams aren't really my area..."
Andy was not going to give up that easily, "Look can I just explain?"
Doctor Simpson sat back in his chair and motioned for Andy to continue. Enough was enough she had to get help now and with that thought in mind Andy took a deep breath.

"Okay well like I said it started off as nothing really. Sometimes I would dream about an outfit and if I wore it things would go well. But then I started to dream about actual events that I can either let happen or I can change them."
"Change them?" Dr Simpson started to look interested.
"Yeah like I see something and it starts to happen and I can let it happen the way I saw in my dream or if I know it's going to end bad then I... change it. They don't happen very often though it's mostly just things that give me a heads up on things at work. Although recently I've been dreaming about my boss but she hasn't been at work. I see things that have happened outside of work but that means I'm able to deal with them... am I making any sense?" The man sitting opposite Andy seemed to have stopped writing.

"Can you give me any examples?"
"Sure! Some nights I dream about them arguing..."
"Them?"
"Oh sorry my boss and her husband, but they'll be arguing about something and I know it's not a dream because it happens" Andy sighed as Dr Simpson raised an eyebrow.
"Three weeks ago I dreamt her husband was going to cause problems at an important function and he did, but I stopped it. Then I dreamt they argued and her phone ended up in the sink. That Monday she came into the office demanding where her new phone was only she hadn't asked for one."

Andy's statement did not seem to have the desired effect as Dr Simpson simply replied
"And?"
"And! Well obviously it had happened just like I saw in my dream. It's a good job I had already bought a replacement phone on the Sunday. That annoyed Emily again though."
"Who's Emily?"
"First assistant... She thinks I'm trying to get her job"
"And are you?"
"What? No of course not" Andy looked horrified at the thought, "It's not my fault that I'm good at my job."
"And you're claiming you're only good at your job because of the dreams?"
"Yes! Well no. I was good before but now I'm really good. Miranda actually notices me now. Do you know she even said thank you to me yesterday for bringing in the right contact details for some photographer she's been trying to get hold of. I dreamt about setting up the meeting last night, so I had everything ready and waiting by the time she asked."

"Miranda Priestly is your boss?" Andy Nodded, "Well... If these dreams are helping so much why are you here?"
"What? Don't you understand you think I want these dreams? I can't sleep at all without dreaming about something Miranda related. Just because I know what sort of mood she'll be in or how to follow out her seemingly random requests everyone at work thinks I'm after a promotion. My boyfriend left three weeks ago and I've barely noticed because I'm too busy trying to sort out Miranda's life."
"Why do you care?"
"I just do... she works hard,she does a good job and not enough people appreciate that. I mean she has a sense of humour and she can actually be quite nice when she wants to be I like being able to see all of that."
"But you don't see it you just dream it."
"No no I see it in real life because of the dreams. I've proved myself to her, she notices me and sometimes I get to see this other helps you understand her when you see the different sides. That's why I care because I want to be noticed by her." Andy's hand flew up to her mouth

"You do know I can't tell her about this don't you?" Andy nodded dumbly "So lets see you don't like knowing everything, but you like it when Miranda interacts with you?" Andy shot up from her chair and started to pace the room.
"Yes! That's it! I feel like I've been spying, especially when I dream about her and Stephen. Do you know he's having an affair? Of course you don't you're a therapist not a gossip columnist. Anyway I feel so angry, I think Miranda knows but I can hardly stroll in and tell her I dreamt about Stephens bit on the side can I?"

Dr Simpson was laughing, "Andy, sit down" Andy looked embarrassed and sat back down opposite the older man.
"I dreamt about him at work bragging to some guy. His secretary was right outside the room I bet she heard everything. Then he started going on about the restaurant he was going to with Miranda. If I hadn't of had that dream I would have had no idea where to book the table, but I'd rather not know what he had planned this weekend with Janet urgh. Sorry I'm rambling but I don't like knowing about things I shouldn't."

"Okay lets think about this." Dr Simspons began tapping his pen on his notepad, " Sometimes if you think about something enough in your day to day life then you dream about it" Andy started to interrupt but was silenced with a look, "I know that doesn't explain the accuracy of the dreams that you've been experiencing but I don't think we should rule that out. Keep a journal of what you do during the day and what you dream about that night; see if you can see any patterns. You have a stressful job Andy, it can't be easy being Miranda Priestly's assistant it could be something as simple as being over worked." Dr Simpson wrote down a number on the back of a business card "If they get worse contact Ronnie at the sleep clinic he should be able to help you more but I have a feeling that as long as you crave Miranda's attention you're going to be having these dreams."

Andy scoffed and took the business card, "I am not craving attention from her... I just like it when she's normal around me. I just like her... Oh...Oh god! I like Miranda Priestly in thatway don't I?"
"I don't know Andy... do you?" Doctor Simpson sat back in his chair,
"This can't be good." Andy stood to leave "I have to go, I'll be back though. Surely what I've just told you is a sign that I need therapy?"

Dr Simpson walked to the door of his office, "Well Andy you have my number, but I think you'll be fine. It's taken some patients years to figure out what you just have."
Andy turned around sharp "Do you get a lot of patients that are in love with Miranda Priestly?" the words were out before she could even attempt to stop them causing Andy to turn red, "That's not what you meant at all. I'm going to leave now, Goodbye Doctor Simpson." The old man chuckled as he watched the young woman leave his office.

Outside on the street Andy looked at the time trying to remember if it was this weekend Stephen and the girls were away. The schedule on her phone confirmed that Miranda was at the town house alone. Hailing a cab Andy decided she'd think of a plausible excuse on the way there. Stephen was going down; she just had to make sure not to mention the outcome of her therapy session to Miranda in the process.
