She's starting to try and wrap her head around it, starting to try and picture it. Steve, tall and debonair; Danny, jaunty and gruff at the best of times. Her mental picture of Danny is probably less than accurate: the most time she's ever spent with him was at that fundraiser, and she doesn't think he normally dresses either in a suit like that one or in the t-shirt and jeans he'd shown up at Steve's door in.
The whole thing is difficult to imagine, to say the least.
She should probably make an effort to get to know him, honestly, especially since Steve is...
Well, looking like that. Relaxing a little, just thinking about him. Mouth quirking into a smile despite himself. Making Cath study him under the guise of a glance towards his face, while her heart twists in confusion between what she's seeing now and what she's never seen, before.
