    Summary

    Had she been watching Andrea closely, she would have noticed the young woman’s breath hitch. Or the lightest bit of pink that suddenly colored her cheeks. Or the way the tips of her fingers shook just a little where she held the hot coffee in her hand.

    But no, Miranda wasn’t studying Andrea closely enough to notice any of those things.

    No. Not at all.

    -x-x-x-

    Two years after Andrea Sachs left without so much as a "goodbye", Miranda finds herself unexpectedly face-to-face with the one who got away.

    Summary

    Miranda studied the tie closest to Nigel’s wrist, a patternless option in tangerine. She picked it up and beckoned Andrea over with a bend of one finger. Once close enough, she draped the tie over her assistant's left shoulder to compare it against the large apricot-toned hibiscus on the print of her blouse. It was exactly the color she was looking for, and as Miranda smoothed the fabric with her hand, she could feel Andrea’s heart thundering beneath her palm. A pink blush crept up her chest and neck, and as it made its way to her cheeks, Miranda silently admired how lovely the hue was there.

    Summary

    It didn’t really faze her when her dad first told her he’s getting re-married and she’ll have a step-sister soon. She’s twenty-eight, not twelve, so it’s not like this will change anything.

    What does faze her, however, is how said step-sister seems to be flirting with her. She kind of has to flirt back.
