Chapter 39: Right all along.
A loud slam echoed in the silent coffee shot, followed by an excited shout.
"I KNEW IT!!!"
Liliana was on her feet, pointing a finger at the young man sitting across the table. Her expression was a mix of happiness and anger, and though she tried to force the latter with a glare, her smile showed she preferred being happy.
"Do I really need to tell you to keep your voice down?"
Dante tried to not let her reaction bother him. The short time they were together taught him to expect it so, by the time he was done telling her what she wanted to hear, he already had his ears plugged.
"I was right! I was right all along!" Liliana ignored his rebuke and continued in the same excited tone. "You knew from the start! That’s why you were trying to get rid of me!"
"No," Dante shook his head. "I just don’t like you, that’s all."
"Of course you don’t, because my intuition was right all along!"
She proudly puffed her chest and held her head high. For a moment there Dante thought that he had seen it get bigger, but he quickly dismissed it as just his imagination.
"Your intuition, huh?" Looking down at his cup, he noticed that the coffee was starting to get cold. "You really shouldn’t be trusting it so much. It might get you killed one day."
"I’m not so foolish that I would bet everything on it." She replied.
