Considering Latte's personality, it's more than likely she's only saying it to throw Peridot off and give herself a chance to haul ass. Her standard MO when faced with uncomfortable situations that she can't magic scroll/talisman her way out of is to throw everything into high emotional gear and start acting her heart out to make the situation uncomfortable for the other party. It's very much a distraction tactic to give herself time to think of something better, or flee the scene outright.
