Summary: Mail disposal gone wrong. | Written for the dvlwears_prada community ABC challenge prompt of 'Letter'.
It starts with a letter.
The letter isn't long, sentimental, or profound in any way. By the time it's found, it isn't even legible. The only thing remarkable about it, in fact, is that it was flushed down the toilet, where it clogged a pipe, flooding half the second floor of Miranda Priestly's townhouse.
The twins unblinkingly blame their long-suffering nanny. Their nanny, of course, knows better than to blame the girls, and points her finger at the maid, who blames her right back. Miranda distractedly flips through The Book and watches Stephen's eyes bug out at the sight of the dripping letter held by the dirty, sweaty plumber that Emily dared to send to their home, who is trying to explain that the toilet really isn't the best place to dispose of mail.
In the end Stephen fires the nanny and the maid and sends the twins to their room, where they stay for precisely five minutes complaining that he should never have been allowed to move back in. Then their mother says they can come out again.
"How could anyone be so stupid?" Stephen mutters as he walks away, missing Miranda's glare and the blush that spreads across her cheeks. She has to admit that perhaps the toilet wasn't the greatest idea, but Stephen had almost seen the letter. Besides, the contents of the letter are all she can focus on right now.
I'm sorry. I want to see you.
