Let's be nice and just say Carly was very excited about Noah coming over. It's much better than talking about how she squealed at the top of her lungs, knocked a vase over while flailing about, and took close to three hours to pick an outfit (before settling on a gorgeous short red dress that showed off her legs amazingly).
She made sure to decorate just enough to make it intimate without being too over the top for him: dimmed lights, the food ready and waiting on the dining room table, and soft music playing from her stereo. She just hoped he liked it, and didn't feel like she was pushing anything.
Her thoughts interrupted by the sound of his foot against the door, she hurried over, opening it with that usual beaming smile, and quickly helping him by taking a few things from his hands.
"Welcome. I don't really have guests over much, so... this is kinda a big deal to me."
