Rating: PG
Character(s): Miranda Priestly, Andrea Sachs, Emily Charlton
Pairing(s): Hints of Miranda/Andy
Warning(s): None
Summary: Emily pays attention to details. Sometimes, she wishes she didn't. | Written for the dvlwears_prada community ABC challenge prompt of 'Queasy'.
Andrea is always involved in and aware of every aspect of Miranda's life. This, by itself, isn't out of the ordinary. She shares total access to everything concerning Miranda with Emily, and it's a privilege that's been granted to countless assistants before them.
But something about Andrea is different, somehow. It's barely there, not really noticeable unless someone's watching closely.
Emily watches closely. Miranda's very presence demands that the world pay attention, and Emily is met with that demand more often than most. And so while an unidentifiable something has raised more than a few eyebrows, Emily's the first one to realize that it's not Andrea that's different. It's Miranda.
It's an assistant's job to be attentive, but Miranda is disconcertingly aware of Andrea, and that's not right. It's not normal.
Miranda never seems to look for the coat being handed to her, never glances over her shoulder to make sure someone is listening. She just trusts that Andrea will be there, without fail. Even after Paris, when Andrea almost left, when Miranda was furious with her, that didn't change.
But with Emily, Miranda always looks. It's as if she's certain that one day Emily won't be where she should be, even though she always been in the past.
The realization that it will probably always be this way is enough to make Emily sick to her stomach.
