Townhouse

Andrea thanked Roy for taking them to the townhouse and took Cassidy by hand. During their time at the hospital, Andrea decided to help the Priestly's as best as she could. She was not sure how it would go when Miranda arrived home but that didn't doesn't matter. She loved the girls, she was in love with their mother, and nothing could change it.

"Andy, mom will need you. You know that, right?"

Andrea stopped dead at the middle of the corridor, since they are going to the kitchen. "What do you mean Cass?"

"Mom always stays very sensible when it is something involving us. And, I will tell you something, but you cannot tell her okay?!"

Andrea decided to sit on the steps to stay at the same level of Cassidy, whatever it is its, sounds serious and not good. Obviously she will support the girl, it doesn't matter what is being said to her, but to keep a secret from Miranda is not something she likes to do.

"What is Cass?"

"Caroline is having problems with two girls. They have hurt her more than once and she has bruises."

Andrea is not sure if she listened to the information well. Did Cassidy just said to her that Caroline is been, not only bullied in school but assaulted too?

"What?!"

"Don't tell mom. Well, I believe that at this point Rapha already told her, but I don't want her knowing we didn't trust her enough to tell her what was happening."

"Cass, I don't want to lie to your mother. If she asks I will tell, but only if she ask okay?!"

"Okay."

"Do you want to eat something? I can do a very good omelette with spinach and mushrooms."

"Yes Andy, thanks, and after this, I wanna sleep."

"Okay kiddo."

2 hours later

Andrea is nervous at the house. Roy texted her to tell her they are going to arrive in 30 minutes and this was 25 minutes ago. She is not sure how she will deal with all the news about the girls, and Miranda being wooed by women.

She doesn't want to think about all the models that hero worship Miranda, trying almost desperately to have her attention. The truth is Miranda could have anyone she wanted and there was no doubt a queue of models trying to fuck her would be without end. Only a stupid person could not want to be with the Editor.

Lost in her thoughts Andrea suddenly jumped when her name is seductively whispered from Miranda's lips.

"Andrea?"

"Oh, sorry Miranda. I didn't realize you had arrived. Hi Caro, how are you feeling?! Cass is sleeping in your room, she said when you come back to go to join her. Something about a twin connection."

Caroline gave a little smile to Andrea and nodded. With Miranda's help, up the stairs, they started to go to the first floor. The girl's room is on the second one.

"Andrea, wait."

"Yes Miranda."

Miranda helped her daughter to be comfortable on her bed, with her sister and, asked them both to try to relax and sleep a bit. They need their strength, their connection as twins back, powerful and unbreakable.

Miranda kissed the girls and dimmed the lights of the room, not wanting to leave them in total darkness. In minutes she was in her room and had changed her clothes to something more comfortable before go downstairs talk to Andrea.

Andrea decided to move to the study, not wanting to wait for Miranda at the bottom of the stairs. She didn't know if her decision would be approved or not since no one can do anything before Miranda orders it, but, she does need to wait and see.

Walking around the room, she saw some of the books there. Two of them made her smile, she never imagined Miranda reading anything like that. Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare and Love Story, Erich Segal.

"Andrea, does my taste in books surprises your?"

"Oh, oh hi Miranda."

Miranda looked to her and smiled. A true smile, not the usual sneer for the thousand of people that made her time miserable or, at Runway, with disastrous ideas and work or, at the parties she need to attend.

"You cannot tell to anyone at Runway that I have a heart and a soft side. You were not supposed to see it too. I have an image to maintain."

"Oh, I am sorry I came into the study. I didn't want to wait at the stairs because I believed was not going to be good and I love books, as you know, and then I started to look around and then ..."

"Andrea you are babbling."

"Sorry, sorry..."

"Please, stop apologising. I need to talk about a few important things."

"Miranda, before we continue with the talk. How is Caroline?"

"She will be fine, I will personally be in charge of that. And this is one of the reasons of this talk."

"Yes Miranda."

"Andrea, shall we sit?"

Miranda sat in at her favourite place. A very comfortable small couch that she loved when she saw it five years ago. Andrea, sat not to far, but not to close either.

Andrea took out her note and pen. Miranda simply made a negative movement with her head.

"What I am going to tell you at this moment you cannot repeat to anyone at Runway. They will not know, if they discover it, I will know that you were the one responsible for it."

"Yes Miranda."

"I decided to change the plans for my travel. And I will need your help to change it."

"Yes Miranda."

"My initial idea was to go alone, with the person I choose to be with me on this mission. I wanted to do an experiment and if it was successful, I would do it at the magazine."

"What is it?"

"I will do a cruise."

Andrea was sure she had moved to another universe. Miranda Priestly, the woman she learned to read clearly, is not a person that would usually go on a cruise and share her space with thousands of people, eat traditional meals with normal people, she simply does not share anything, apart from things that she believed are important to her girls.

"What help do you need with it? Where you going?!"

"I will give you all the details next week and I will be leaving. Everything is arranged already, now I only need to take my girls passports with me and buy their tickets but I will do it by myself."

"Okay. So what help do you want me to do?"

"I will need you to have your passport in hand. Do not worry about clothes, I already arranged them."

Andrea now is sure that she is in a parallel universe. Miranda Priestly is going on a cruise, she will take the girls with her, and wants her, Andrea Sachs, to go with her. God knows where they'd be going. Andrea pinched herself only to be sure this was reality and Miranda smiled and smirked.

"We are travelling next Friday. That's all. Now, please, come with me to the kitchen because I want to prepare something light for the girls. Cara made a fantastic meal but with the change of circumstances, only me and you are going to have it."

Miranda started to walk to the kitchen followed by Andrea, whose mind was working non-stop. Where the hell she is going and more, how can she not go when it meant days alone with Miranda, wherever it is, and the girls. She could travel to hell and not bother if the trip to inferno was her last moment in this life.
