eager - Story 37181 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee, usually a comfort, felt electric in Amelia’s nostrils. She bounced on the balls of her feet as she waited for the kettle to whistle. Mark had been taking those calls again. Late at night, hushed voices, a quick dart to the back garden. Tonight, she'd finally get answers.

Her fingers tapped a rapid staccato against the countertop. The kettle shrieked. As she poured the boiling water, her heart hammered against her ribs. She was going to catch him.

She grabbed two mugs, humming a song under her breath, a strange counterpoint to the quiet tension in the air. Time to play detective.
