eager - Story 37076 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Zara was tapping her foot, a relentless metronome against the tiled floor. The news, when it arrived, had been like a shot of adrenaline. A real meeting? After all this time? A huge grin split her face.

She felt a rush of energy, a need to move, to be active. She pulled on her shoes and began to pace. She needed to look perfect, of course. She put on some music and began dancing in her room.

She wanted to be there, at the agreed-upon location, earlier than she needed to be. As if to prove to herself that she could.
