I agree with what you said. If Carly TRULY loved him from the start, or realized she actually DID have feelings for him after his cast was off and whatnot, she wouldn't have waited this long to tell him. She definitely wouldn't have confessed her love to him right after Sam did, either, because she knows that would just wreck all their friendships with each other.
