The cold light of the office picks out Miranda Priestly's ascetic features from the shadows. Ash-blonde hair, sharp blue eyes, an impenetrable gaze. On the desk, mountains of layouts. The door flies open and a breathless Andrea rushes in. 'A call from the newspaper... an interview.' Miranda doesn't even lift her eyes. 'Tell them I don't give interviews.' A pause. 'But... *she*.' The name, whispered, cracks the ice. Miranda bites her lip. For the first time today, a spark of curiosity flashes in her eyes. 'Schedule it for lunch. I want to see her in person.' A thin, nearly invisible smile plays on the lips of the editor-in-chief.
