Benicia glanced up from her work to look at Karen's desk. She was surprised to hear that Karen and Zoe had the night off specifically to be on a date. She was more surprised that either actually made the step to asking the other. She was not entirely surprised that Karen had asked Zoe first, but she was surprised that they decided to go on the date so early. She looked at her phone to see that Karen had sent her a photo.

"Oh!" Benicia got up from her seat and walked over to Foggy, "Look at them, they're so cute."

"Oh, my God." Foggy covered his mouth with a large grin, "Karen brought her to a fancy place. Zoe's dressed up. That is a dress. Matt, Zoe wore a dress for the date. It means she's serious."

"A dress-" Matt laughed from his seat, "Do they look like they're having a good time."

"Yes." Benicia confirmed while walking over to where he was now, "So, they are at a small taqueria. I took Karen there when we first started working together. It's a place that makes you feel all warm inside, like you're at home. Zoe is wearing a black shirt waist dress, ah... imagine your current shirt but really long and it's completely cinched up at the waist and the bottom half flares out. Kind of creates this fluffy skirt look. And Karen, she is wearing a light blue blouse that looks to be made out of a synthetic material. She paired it with a black pencil skirt, and since she's pretty call I know that it was a custom made skirt."

"Pencil skirt?"

"Uh..." Benicia made a face because she absolutely hated pencil skirts, "Essentially a tight skirt. It kind of hugs the body. Real annoying." She leaned down against the desk next to Matt while looking at the picture, "They're both smiling. Karen's smile is huge like she just won something and Zoe's is flustered. Kind of like she's trying not to smile but she can't help it."

Matt smiled at this and turned his head so he was facing Benicia, "So I take it their date is going well then?"

"Yes." Benicia answered while turning her head to look at him. She cleared her throat and backed away from him once she realized how close she was to Matt. She moved back over to her desk and sat down in her seat.

Foggy just kind of watched them for a couple of seconds before going back to reading the paper. Almost immediately he scoffed, "Devil, my shapely Irish ass. Guy's a coward. Him and that female. What I wouldn't give for the chance to rip that corny mask off and-"

Benicia raised her brows at him, "Uh-huh? And do what?"

"Punch him in the face with my fisticuffs."

She snorted in amusement as she looked back to her work, "I don't know, he seems... uh pretty fisticuffy to me."

Foggy just gaped over at Benicia, "Please tell me I don't detect a hint of admiration for that terrorist."

"All of that is just speculation though." Benicia leaned back in her seat to get a better look at Foggy, "Nobody knows if they're terrorists or what."
