High

What does 'high' mean here?

And what does the last sentence mean?


We headed over to shoes and accessories. While they tried things on I merely watched
and critiqued, not in the mood to shop for myself, though I did need new shoes. The
girls'-night high was wearing off in the wake of my annoyance at Tyler, leaving room for
the gloom to move back in.
"Angela?" I began, hesitant, while she was trying on a pair of pink strappy heels — she
was overjoyed to have a date tall enough that she could wear high heels at all.
