After an exceptional meal of pancakes prepared by Nanna and the twins, Miranda pushed back from the table and said, "I am sorry to say that I must allow Runway to intrude on our visit." She looked at Andrea expectantly. "I'll need to collect a few things from my luggage."

"Sure," Andy replied, "let's get your stuff." Miranda glared, Andy grinned, and the twins giggled.

"You ladies will be in my son's old room across from the twins," Nanna said. Miranda's face turned to stone while Andy's eyes widened in horror.

"Nanna," Andy said cautiously, "I thought we agreed that the Sachs-Priestly contingent would stay in the guest house."

"I know dear, but I just thought it would be nice for all of us to be together."

"Catherine," at Nanna's glare Miranda rolled her eyes and started over. "Nanna, I will be working for several hours tonight and then more in the morning. I don't want to be disruptive or disrupted."

The two women had a stare down and then Nanna smiled, "Fine but my great granddaughters stay here."

"Yea Mom, we want to stay with Gram and Nanna." Said Caroline

"Really we have to if we're going to make popovers in the morning," Said Cassidy. "Nanna says it's a tradition."

Caroline chimed in, "We have to make the batter before bed and then cook them in the morning." She looked at Andy. "Nanna said you did this all the time when you were young. Why didn't you do it with us?"

"Hello," Andy said with gentle sarcasm, "With waltzing lessons and Disney princess education when exactly would we have had time for batter making?"

"Good point," Caroline said grinning as Miranda and Andrea turned to leave.

"I'll take Patricia for a walk before bed," Linda said.

"Thank you," Miranda said. "I'll be up so you can drop her off-"

"Oh no, my grand-dog stays with me tonight!"

"I see," said Miranda dryly. "Am I to see my family at all on this trip?"

"Of course, tomorrow morning," said Nanna. "Part of the popover tradition is breakfast in bed." She glared at Miranda, "Of course yours will be cold as we will have to cart them across the yard." She crooked her finger at Miranda and whispered in her ear, "Should I call you first, you know, to make sure you have your jammies on when we get there?"

"Jammies…call me…get there…" Miranda repeated in a daze. She shook her head to clear it, "Yes, a call would be appreciated." Nanna gave her a saucy wink and then turned to the girls.

"All right young ladies let's get to work on some batter."

Andy looked over at her mother who was busy, enthusiastically, loving on Patricia. "You know she goes with us when we go, right Mom?"

Linda smiled and continued hugging Patricia. "I know, so I'll love on her while she is here." She looked up at Miranda, "Thank you so much for bringing her."

"Of course, dear, I do try to bring her along when we travel, she is always so well received." Miranda looked at her hands in contemplation.

The room was silent until Linda burst out laughing and said, "Priestly you are so full of shit." Andy put her hand over her eyes at her mother's outburst. Miranda raised her eyebrows and cocked her head in surprise at being spoken to in such a way.

"I'd bet my one and only pair of Jimmy Choos that Andy had to beg you to bring her."

"What size?"

"Pardon?"

"What size are my new shoes?"

"Eight and a half"

"Perfect," she purred. "Andrea did not beg me to bring Patricia. Andrea coerced me into a public presentation and used that as an excuse to rent the company jet. We were flying somewhere over Pennsylvania when she informed me that Patricia was on board."

"And yet she lives," Linda said in a voice laced with humor.

"And yet she lives," Miranda responded in kind.

Andy and Miranda had just left when Nanna and the twins came back in to the room. Linda shook her head, "Holy mother of God Mom, they are ridiculous."

Nanna smiled responding to Linda's mirth. "How long do you think they can keep it up?"

"What are you talking about?" Caroline asked.

"Those two faking not being in a relationship, it's absurd that they thought we wouldn't notice."

Cassidy wrinkled her nose in confusion. "They aren't faking not being in a relationship."

"Right," Caroline added. "They are faking being in a relationship." Cassidy shoved her gently. "Oops."

"No girls," Nanna said. "They are in a relationship but are faking they are not so that they can fake that they are."

Cassidy put her hand to the bridge of her nose so like her mother that Linda had to hold back a big gafaw, "So you're saying that they are fake faking a relationship?"

"Exactly," Nanna smiled.

"Mom's not" Caroline said seriously. "Right from the first day she told us she wanted to be with Andy."

"Caroline!" Cassidy said sharply

"Get over it Cas, either they are on team Mirandy or they aren't."

Cassidy rolled her eyes at Caroline's use of the couple name bestowed by page six.

"When they figure it out they are going to need support. One way or another we might as well find out where they stand now." The twins turned and made eye contact with the other women.

Nanna bopped each girl on the head. "I can see the love that they have for each other pouring out of their eyes, that's how I knew they were fake/faking. I'm in all the way."

Linda smiled, "When Andy played sports or did anything really she would say, 'Go big or go home.' I figure in this context your mom is about as big as it gets. I'm in for sure."

Linda held her hand out palm down and Nanna put hers on top. The girls stared at them blankly.

"I guess they never played sports," Nanna quipped. "Did you?" the girls shook their head no. "Oh well put your hands in on top of ours. Teams do this before a game."

Cassidy looked like a mini Miranda as she cocked her head and asked, "Why?"

Nanna laughed, "After you are all gathered round you shout something motivational in unison."

"Like what?" Caroline asked.

"Maybe, Go! Fight! Win!" Nanna said loudly.

"Go fight win?" Cassidy giggled, "Mom says that on her way out the door every morning."

"Really?" asked Nanna.

"No," the twins giggled.

Caroline said, "How about bring her home mom?"

"Nope," Cassidy said. "She already did that. Let's try, win her heart mom!"

"Nope," Linda said. "She's already done that. How about wake up and smell the coffee!"

"Nope," Nanna said, "too long. I think catch a clue go team Mirandy." The other three nodded in agreement. With their hands together they chanted, "Catch a clue! Catch a clue! Go team Mirandy!"

"Hey," Linda said, "Can we get shirts?"

"What?" Cassidy asked.

"You know shirts that say team Mirandy on the front and our names on the back. You guys could even be number one and two."

Caroline thought for a moment and looked at Linda as if she were a little slow. "Mom would have to be number one."

"Make sense, true," Linda couldn't help but smile.

Caroline looked at Cassidy, "Valentino or Versace?"

Nanna choked, "Does Valentino do tee-shirts?"

Cassidy put her arm around her new great grandmother's shoulder. "Nanna, for mom everyone does tee-shirts."

"Versace," said Caroline. "Donatella would get a kick out of it."

"Are you kidding," Cassidy replied. "Donatella would wear one!"

The four ladies went off to bed, laughing together the whole way up the stairs.
