ecstatic - Story 38815 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doctor's waiting room was quiet, sterile, but he didn't care. He sat with his legs crossed, bouncing his knee. *Dr. Sarah Miller.* His old nemesis. The girl who’d made his life miserable with her clever insults and ruthless pranks. Therapy. It was perfect.

He kept glancing at his watch. He got up and walked around the waiting room, stopping to look out the window. He checked his reflection in the glass, a goofy grin plastered on his face. He felt like he was flying.

He wanted to burst into the therapist's office. He wanted to shout. He wanted to do cartwheels.
