[ Making dinner in general or are they already on a date? Probably the first but he's made himself panic so much already, that after an awkward 'hello' on his end, he takes up her advice to sit down in the other room.
Thus begins his inner pep-talk:
Damn it, Bandou. Stop being nervous. She pretty much brought it up to you on her own. If she wasn't interested, she wouldn't have gotten you to come over. She's not like that. She's not some jerk who's gonna prank you again.
He's so deep into his self reassurance, that he doesn't notice she's in the room until she sits down next to him. And of course, he startles. ]
