amazed - Story 3885 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Did you see the new chandelier in the Peterson’s dining room, Martha?” Brenda asked, her voice laced with incredulity as she set the coffee cups on the table.

Martha, sipping her tea, looked up from her crossword puzzle. “No, I hadn’t.”

“It’s…it’s… massive! And crystal! And it looks like it cost more than my entire house!” Brenda’s hands flew up in the air, a gesture of pure wonder.

Martha, now abandoning her puzzle, put down her cup. That was not like the Peterson's. It was usually a very unremarkable house. She found her gaze drawn out the window, toward the impeccable home next door.
