delighted - Story 24606 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David couldn't stop the smile that stretched across his face. The story he'd been told was that his grandfather was an incredibly shy man. But in the photographs, his grandfather was surrounded by women! They were laughing, the man laughing the loudest of all.

His cheeks hurt from smiling. This was so much better than the stories.

He felt a deep sense of pleasure in knowing the truth, the real truth, about his grandfather. He felt incredibly lucky.
