Rain streaks the tall windows of the manor. Miranda Priestly is a statue of shadow and elegance in the vaulted foyer. You are twelve, pressed into the dimness of the hallway, watching. Your father stands silently beside her. No one needs to say it. Her presence in this house, in your life, is the only announcement required. The air is thick, charged with a future you have not chosen.
