As much as she wants to hurry up and get out to see him, if she's going to do this, she wants to do it right. The list of things she knows he likes is short. She's damned if she's going to mess up the only one fully under her control.
It almost feels like a normal night (like a real date) as she showers and shaves and begins the long and arduous and usually skipped-unless-it's-for-a-cover process of grooming herself to perfection. At least it gives her something to do as her mind whirls – Steve will fill him in on the mission, she's sure, and with that and the procedure both over, both successful, she feels entirely untethered in a way she hasn't for... god. Months, probably.
That trip to Polygyros seems like a lifetime ago.
She knows Steve will bring him over to the rest once he's had a chance to clean up and change, and even with her own admonitions to herself, she can't stop from hurrying.
As much as she can, anyway. She'd forgotten how damn long it takes to dry and brush and curl and style her hair.

It's worth it... but it takes forever
