Rhea flattened out the fabric of her gown and threw her hair over her shoulder. She held her glass and released a long sigh. She never did enjoy these events. But thankfully, Zoe was there with her. Zoe's hair was blonde and pulled back into a bun with a dark red dress.

"Oh, my God..."

Rhea furrowed her brows together and glanced over at Zoe, "What?"

Zoe cleared her throat and revealed a photo on her flip phone. It was of Foggy in a wrinkled suit with Matt behind him. "I think that's the kitchen here."

"Are you kidding?" Rhea shook her head in disbelief before she maneuvered through the crowd. Zoe snagged more of the hors d'oeuvres before trailing behind her. She smiled at the worker before slipping into the kitchen.

Foggy had just shoved some food into his mouth as they entered. He immediately choked on it, "Uh, hi!"

"Did you two idiots really sneak in?" Rhea had her hands on her hips, "You know, if you had asked, like Zoe, I could have just gotten you guys invitations."

"Yeah, but where's the fun and adventure in that." Foggy laughed as he grabbed a spoon, "Also, this-this grows on you. I kind of hated it at first but it's pretty good after a while."

"Fish eggs?" Zoe snorted at his face as he put an entire spoon full into his mouth, "Oooh... I don't think that was a wise decision."

Foggy took one chew and his face contorted. He swallowed and then stuck his tongue out, "That was really salty."

"The deviled eggs are better." Rhea pointed out to him with an amused grin on her face, "Did you just sneak in to sneak in?"

"Of course." Foggy pointed directly at Matt, "He said it wouldn't be as fun if we asked you so we just walked in. Definitely used his blindness to help which felt like I was a little slummy but you know."

Zoe slowly closed her eyes, "I'm sorry, what?"She wasn't sure if he worded that correctly at all, "Have you been drinking?"

"I wish."

Matt chuckled and moved away from the table, "I'm going to find the alcohol."

"Hold on!" Rhea reached out and stopped him, "No getting in trouble."

Matt laughed at the warning, "Me? Get in trouble?"

"I'm serious. A lot of people in there know who my parents are and I'd really like to not be the one to bail you out if you do something stupid."

"I'm never stupid." Matt hummed as he put a hand on Rhea's shoulder, "But I promise to stay out of trouble for your benefit."

"Find me a beer if you can!"

Zoe eyed Foggy curiously, "Out of all the drinks, you want a beer?"

"Imagine fancy beer. It has to taste delicious."
