amazed - Story 3950 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The book lay open on the coffee table. Mark couldn't believe his eyes. Sara, his normally reserved and practical partner, had written a romance novel, and it was *about* him. He felt an odd lightness, almost a tingling sensation across his skin.

He read the first few pages. Sara, who always claimed he was too boring, had turned him into a dashing hero. He couldn't help but laugh, the sound bubbling out of him, uncontrolled. It was him, but… elevated, romanticized.

The front door opened. Mark quickly closed the book, his heart pounding, a silly grin plastered on his face.
