"They say we are asleep until we fall in love
We are children of dust and ashes
But when we fall in love we wake up
And we are a god and angels weep
But if I die here tonight
I die in my sleep"

"Foggy."
Foggy jumped at the sudden voice and he turned, "Zoe, oh, my God, you're really good at sneaking up on people."
Zoe released a snort and tucked her hands into the pockets of her overalls, "No, you were just busy on the phone. Were you talking to Matt?"
"I was." Foggy stuffed his phone into his pocket, "I just woke him up."
Immediately, Zoe made a face, "Of course you did. Was he with another chick?"
"I think so."
"Oh, joy."
Zoe ended up being adopted a year after Rhea was and it was the hardest thing in her life. She had left Benicia alone at the orphanage. And as much as the three said they would keep in contact, they really didn't. It was rare. Zoe had more run-ins with Rhea at this point and that was just because she worked at Josie's bar. It was actually disheartening that the three of them weren't as close as they used to be. But it was probably for the best.
"Officer of the law."
Sergeant Brett Mahoney approached the pair, "Two defense attorneys. We're supposed to be enemies."
"First off, we've been enemies since we were four, Brett, so let's not blame it on career choices." Foggy responded calmly, "Secondly, I'm not a particularly good defense attorney, so helping me is like helping yourself. And finally, these are for Bess."
Brett took the paper bag and basically cursed, "Please stop giving my mom cigars, Foggy."
"What? She'll outlive us all."
Brett rolled his eyes, "Hi, Zoe, I figured you'd be working at some fancy firm by now."
"I could never leave the two dopes alone." Zoe chuckled with a smile on her face, "Look, Foggy started this off all bad. We don't want you to do anything immoral. We just... We want a heads up if something, you know, interesting walks through the door."
Brett sighed and looked at Foggy, "Fine."
"Thanks, buddy!"
Foggy wrapped an arm around her shoulders, "You are awesome. Are you sure you don't want your name on the firm?"
Zoe immediately scrunched her nose, "Uh, no, I'm good. It's not my name. I'm just happy to be working with you."
"Awe, just me."
"And Matt."
"Damn."
Zoe broke out in a grin and nudged at him, "I love you both equally."
"You could... love me more."
"Not going to happen, dork."

"You've got a reception area, a conference room and three offices. Corner suite has a view of the Hudson. You can figure that out between the three of you."
