“Let me buy you another?” The timid offer by Alice had almost gone unheard by Dana, who looked up and asked her to repeat what she had said.
“C-Can I buy you another coffee?”
“Sure,” Dana finally managed to say, a small smile spreading across her face. “That would be nice.”
Alice could feel her heart beat a hundred times faster after Dana’s answer, her mind not once believing that she had just accepted her offer. This was it; she had a second chance to explain everything to Dana
“Ok you go sit,” Alice ordered happily. “And I’ll be back in two seconds.”
Alice practically ran over to Kit at the counter, her head spinning with possibilities.
“Kit coffee please and I need Dana can two” Alice spurted out without thinking, a confused look crossing her face as she went over what she just said. “Scratch that. Kit, can Dana and I please have two coffees?”
“Made much more sense the second time around,” Kit’s replied, amused at how excited Alice seemed. Alice gave her a big grin as she grabbed the coffees, spurring Kit to give her the thumbs up.
“Here you go,” Alice said brightly as she placed the coffee in front of Dana who was sitting nervously in the space that Shane had occupied not an hour before. “I’m sorry about the whole coffee thing.”
“It’s no problem Al,” Dana replied genuinely. “If anything it makes me feel better that you’re almost as big of a klutz as I am.”
“Almost. Not quite,” Alice quipped, before taking a sip of her coffee, her lips still turned in a smile. God it felt so good to just sit and talk to her Even after the drama of the night before, Alice could still talk to Dana more easily than she could almost any other person she knew.
“Jeez thanks Al,” Dana replied, returning the smile. Dana didn’t want to approach the subject of their argument. She wanted this casual, fun loving conversation to continue. She didn’t want to break it; she didn’t want a repeat of what happened at the launch she just wanted her Alice back.
“D-Dane?” Alice‘s voice interrupted Dana’s train of thought, and the brunette looked over at Alice with a questioning look. “I-I don’t exactly want to bring this up now but but at the same time, I don’t want you thinking that the stuff I said yesterday holds any truth. I don’t know what came over me. All you did was try and be nice to me after I did a really shoddy thing to you and I-I blew it up in your face.”
