aroused - Story 8950 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The manuscript detailed every aspect of his life. How he made her laugh, how she made him feel, all of his quirks. He felt a wave of something he could not describe wash over him. He was a man of few words, and she had described him to a tee. He read the book from cover to cover, and when he was done, he had to see her.

He felt a sudden heat rising in his neck. He suddenly felt the urge to hold her close. He needed to be near her, to feel her skin against his. He set the manuscript down and immediately started looking for her. He knew she had to be somewhere in the house, and he was determined to find her and share his feelings.
