Daniela's wise-crack about the gun and harsh demeanor were far more intimidating than Sara Lynn's grumblings to the girl behind the counter. She promptly dropped the phone in its cradle and went about making the chai tea, though she did it with a haughty attitude. Everyone behind them clapped.
Glancing behind her in surprise, Sara Lynn moved closer to Daniela while she waited for her order. "I can't believe some of these kids today. I think I should be thanking you. If you hadn't backed me up there, I could be covered in hot coffee right now, and that 'Barbie' would still be on the phone. So thanks," she said warmly. Even if Carey Shenkman didn't believe in the power of forgiveness, Sara Lynn was not one to hold a grudge. Her mood was vastly improving now that things were moving at an accelerated pace in the coffee shop. "You're Daniela, right?" she asked.
