eager - Story 37475 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The afternoon felt like it was dragging. Emily had checked the tracking information on her phone a hundred times. Finally, a notification! She was already halfway down the stairs when the doorbell rang. She was practically vibrating as she signed for the package, which was addressed to the prior resident, “Mr. Peterson.” "Wrong address," she blurted out, her cheeks flushed. "But I'll get it to him."

The driver looked unimpressed. Inside, she couldn't wait. The package felt warm in her arms. She knew what was inside, and she couldn't wait to see if it was as perfect as she’d imagined.
