eager - Story 37803 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Well, this is going to change things, isn't it?" Chloe mumbled to herself, her eyes glued to the letter. Her mother had kept this secret for thirty years! A brother. A *brother* she never knew existed. She began pacing, a tight energy coursing through her.

She ran her hand over her hair, a nervous gesture. She picked up her phone and dialed her mother’s number immediately. The phone rang and rang, but Chloe kept staring at the phone, willing her mother to answer. She needed details. Now.

Her mind raced with possibilities. Where did he live? What did he like? Would he even *want* to meet her? She bit her lip and then, after the call went to voicemail, she shot a quick text: "Mom, call me ASAP. Urgent."
