"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 sat at the bar with Zoe while silently sipping on the fuzzy navel that Rhea made her, "I already told you both that I am fine."
Zoe shot a very disapproving look at her friend with her own drink in hand, "I think that's bullshit."
Rhea snorted and leaned against the bar counter, "Zoe, we can't force her to move closer."
"Thank you."
"But you live at the edge of Hell's Kitchen." Zoe dragged out in an almost dramatic fashion, "Your commute is ridiculous."
Benicia rolled her eyes and propped her elbows up on the counter, "Do you really care about my commute?"
"Yes."
Even Rhea didn't look convinced and snorted out, "I figured you just want her to move in with us."
"What?" Zoe scratched the back of her neck and immediately looked away, "No..."
Benicia snorted at her response, "I'm seriously fine where I am. I don't really mind the commute, plus... I've got a lease on my place. I'll think about moving maybe later on or something."
Zoe pouted but seemed satisfied enough with Benicia's answer and tapped her glass, "I need more Rhea."
"You're going to get drunk if I give you any more." Rhea took Zoe's original alcoholic beverage away from her. She started to make another drink for someone else at the bar and gave them their drink before going back to Zoe, "The answer is still no."
"That's literally not fair." Zoe was getting grumpy with her friends, "Now that Benny is back, you're taking her side."
Benicia shook her head in complete bewilderment, "I didn't say a single thing about you drinking. Or whether or not you're getting really drunk."
Zoe stared for a long moment and then waved her off, "Besides the point."
Rhea laughed and gave Zoe a cup of water instead of any kind of alcohol, "How is everything in the office?"
"It's okay." Benicia answered while Zoe glared at the water she was given, "Zoe flirts with everyone in the office."
"That is not true." Zoe gave a pointed look at Benicia while also pointing at Benicia.
Benicia rolled her eyes, "Fine, she doesn't flirt with Foggy."
"And that's because Rhea-"
Rhea cut in so quickly that her face practically turned red, "Zoe!"
"Oh..." Benicia pursed her lips in amusement, "Yeah, that makes sense actually."
Rhea covered her face in embarrassment, "Is it that obvious?"
"I guess." Benicia huffed.
Zoe immediately answered, "Yes."
Rhea stared at Benicia and Zoe who had responded at the same time, "It's obvious to everyone but him. It's so upsetting."
