"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"

Benicia leaned back in her chair at her desk while reading over a letter she had received. She exhaled deeply and scratched at the side of her head. When she saw Foggy and Zoe open the door to the office, she quickly put the letter away.
"You know-" Foggy was clearly hungover, "The whole 'Let's stay out all night', thing?"
Karen peered up over her computer from her desk, "Yeah?"
"How about next time we skip the part with the eel?"
Zoe patted his shoulder, "Deal."
"Hey, what do you two think about getting a sign on the door?" Foggy questioned while pulling his satchel off.
Zoe glanced back at the piece of paper taped to their door, "Hey, we've got a sign."
Foggy shot a dirty look at Zoe, "A real one."
Benicia hummed while she got up from the desk, "You guys should get some clients first."
"Wow, burn." Zoe placed a hand over her heart, "I thought we were friends, Benny?"
"We are friends. I'm just honest."
Foggy's mind was still on the idea of the sign, so he continued with it, "Just one little sign. What could it cost?"
"Frank-" Karen was definitely teasing him, but it was a true statement, "You can barely afford to pay me."
"I thought you were working for free."
"Benny said she would work for free."
Benicia glanced over at Karen, "Well, for like a week at least."
"Wow." Zoe gasped just as Matt walked into the room, she smiled at his entrance, "Hey, you know they're not working for free?"
"Oh, my God." Benicia stopped leaning against the desk when she got a good look at Matt's face. "Are you okay? What happened to your eye?"
Her worry made the other spring up as well. Matt immediately brushed it off, "Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. I just wasn't paying attention last night. It's my fault."
Zoe snapped her finger and pointed at him, "You need a dog."
Matt scoffed at the idea, she had brought up a dog to him various times in college, "I'm not getting a dog."
"What?" Foggy furrowed his brows, "You don't like dogs? Who doesn't like dogs?"
"I love dogs." Karen chimed in.
"Everybody loves dogs."
"Mm." Benicia scrunched her nose up in disagreement, "That's not entirely true. Not everyone loves dogs. That's a-"
"Oh, my God, Benny, come on. Just agree with us about the dog thing."
"But technically-"
"Benny!" Zoe huffed while giving her a small shove.
