No pity necessary...
I really like the attention to detail (when she rolls her eyes, etc.) that lets you get way inside the minds of both characters. I always want to include details like that, but it comes out sappy every time.

"Enough already...I’m not always wrong you know..."
He started the sentence fine, but as he spoke he slowed.

That made me go back and read from "Enough..." again, understanding how you intended it to be read. That's a good effect, but you might get the same result without slowing the reader like so:
--
"Enough already..."
He started the sentence fine, but as he spoke he slowed.
"I’m not always wrong you know..."

I'm aware you probably tried it at least five different ways and would hate to change it now -- it's just a suggestion.
