Karen never thought that Matt and Foggy would be friends with Frank, but after he saved her from a most certain and violent death, they felt in debt to him. Sometimes when someone is too much for Matt, he drops the name to Frank. Sometimes Frank drops someone outside their door, tied up and with a signed confession to their crimes pinned on their chest. Sometimes Frank would even take Matt with him if he needed a little extra help.

Karen doesn’t want to ruin that.

Frank turns from Karen for a moment and opens the door to the fire escape so he can get out of there before they even get to the door. He climbs out of the window and turns back around to lean and grab just one more kiss from Karen.

She grins and wraps her hands around the back of his neck. “Go,” She orders smacking his shoulder playfully. Frank pulls away from her, says a 'yes, ma'am’ and starts down the fire escape and she shuts the window before he can get the idea to try to come back.

Karen stands there and watches Frank as he climbs down four floors of fire escape and walks down the sidewalk.

Normally after Frank leaves, Karen wouldn’t shower so she could continue to smell like him but since she’s meeting her friends right after this, she doesn’t want to have to explain why she smells like coffee and gunpowder. She scrubs and scrubs until she smells more like strawberries and coconut, but she can still smell the faint scent of Frank. Hopefully Matt and Foggy won’t notice.

Her outfit for the day has been hanging up against her dresser since early in the morning, down to the underwear and bra she’s meant to wear. She does her hair and makeup before dressing, slipping her shoes on when there’s a knock at her door. Just in time.

“Just a minute!” Karen calls out to her front door, grabbing her purse, her keys, and a jacket to wear just in case it gets chilly. She walks out to her door and sets the alarm that Frank installed after someone broke into her place.

When Karen opens the door, she’s very surprised to see Frank in the middle of Foggy and Matt, both of their arms around Frank’s shoulders. Foggy has a nervous (Frank will never not make him nervous) but goofy grin on his face and Matt is looking at Karen like he knows everything. And he probably does.
