Effervescent

She is sparkling, scintillating, lusty, vigorous, peppy. He was interested at lusty, but pretended indifference. Zingy, zippy, vivacious, animated, high-spirited. Okay, I’ll do it, he told his sister, acting reluctant. She had set him up with dates before. They never worked out. He arrived at the restaurant ten minutes early. Still, she beat them there. She was pretty, and lively. Fun. He laughed at her stories, and she listened to his. She told him great things about his sister, and he shared too. She was everything his sister said, truly effervescent. But her drink was too carbonated, which made her gassy. She was horribly embarrassed when overcome by the Bubbly, frothy, foaming, bubbly stuff. He liked her for that too.
