eager - Story 37742 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Eliza practically vibrated in her boots, a small tremor that traveled up her spine. The crash had been magnificent, the oak splitting like a discarded toy. She’d been waiting for this day.

Her hands were already itching, a delightful tingle that demanded action. She raced out the back door, her mind already composing a mental checklist of tools: the loppers, the axe, the hand saw.

“Oh my goodness, what a mess,” Mrs. Gable, her neighbor, said, her voice laced with distress. "What are we going to do?"

Eliza's smile was genuine. "We'll get it cleaned up in no time, don't you worry! Just let me get started." She didn't waste another second and went off to grab her tools.
