amazed - Story 3775 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer droned on, outlining the will. My sister, Olivia, and I sat side by side, expecting the usual inheritance. We had grown up with a sense of entitlement.

The usual, however, did not occur. The lawyer announced a specific piece of art for Olivia. It had always been hidden. A painting, rumored to be worth a fortune.

As the lawyer’s voice faded, Olivia was handed a small painting. She removed the wrapping, and looked into it. Her eyes widened, and her jaw dropped.

"I…" she began, then stopped. A small smile crept across her face. Then, as she turned the painting around in her hands, her expression changed again.
