eager - Story 37164 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

From the moment Liam stepped out of the Uber, a current of excitement ran through him. He checked his phone obsessively, not for messages, but simply for the feeling of control it gave him. He took a deep breath, the crisp night air doing little to calm the tremor in his hands.

He greeted the bride and groom with a warm smile, chatting with them before moving toward the bar. He wanted a drink, something strong, but more than that, he wanted to be noticed. He adjusted his jacket, his gaze sweeping the room again. It was just a matter of time. He tapped his foot, a quick, restless rhythm against the polished floorboards.
