I do not own anything from DWP I have just borrowed the characters for inspiration.

At Runway Miranda sat with Nigel, and John looking over the mock-up for the plus size issue. She had not seen or heard from Irv since her meeting with the board and wanted to have most of it done before Irv started complaining about it or even worse blocked it. She saw the picture they had picked out for the cover but something was wrong with it. It wasn't what Miranda had seen the day of the shoot.

"I want to see her spread sheets."

John handed them over. Miranda glared at him, she was still mad. Nigel just grinned, and John sighed.

Miranda shook her head, "No, no. None of these will do. I do not understand. This is not what I saw the day of the shoot. What happened to her sparkle? Her grace? I want a reshoot of her, and I want Anne to do it."

John stared, Nigel stood up, "I will get right on it while you and John go over the rest of the mock-up." Miranda glared.

Miranda looked through the pages and stopped at one. "Whose idea was this?"

John cringed, he knew she would hate it. Why had Nigel told him to take it and run? "Mine."

Miranda looked at John over her glasses, "What gave you the idea for it?"

John began to explain the concept for the picture and accompany article from Andrea. Miranda nodded during the presentation. Then she took a few minutes to read Andréa's article. "Very good." John sat stunned. "I want to see the prints for America. John handed them over. Miranda studied them for a while. She pointed to one, "put this one in place of that one." She pointed to one on the mock-up. "See how this one shows the sparkle in her eye and her beautiful cheek bones? Her hands are also more relaxed in this one."

John nodded, "Yes."

"Let me know when Melissa's reshoot is scheduled. That's all."

"Yes, Miranda." John walked out with a smile on his face.


John came to Miranda's office and knocked on the door. Miranda looked up over her glasses. "Miranda, Melissa and Anne will both be here tomorrow morning to redo the shoot."

Miranda nodded.

John turned and smiled, she was warming back up to him.


The next day Miranda once again sat on the side watching Anne put Melissa through her paces. She saw it again the sparkle, the beauty in her face. The dress was lovely on her. Nigel came over to her.

"I want to see the spread sheet as soon as the shoot is done." Miranda stood and walked over to Anne and whispered into her ear.

Anne grinned, "Miranda, I would love to."

In a couple of hours Nigel was in the office with the sheets. Miranda took them and smiled. "Call John in." John came into the office looking first at Miranda then Nigel. Nigel nodded his head toward Miranda.

"Miranda."

Miranda looked up, "John come look at these two spread sheets and tell me what you see."

John looked at Nigel again, then went over to Miranda and started looking at the pictures. He looked up amazed at Miranda. "They are completely different." He looked again, "How? It is the same model, clothes, setting."

Miranda smiled and nodded. "The fourth element the photographer. Anne does amazing work. I do not know how she does it." Miranda pointed to one picture, "The cover. Send Anne and Melissa a special thank you. Have them do a double print."
