elated - Story 39015 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The clinking of silverware and hushed tones of the dinner conversation were a dull background noise. But when Uncle David announced he was becoming a Scientologist, the room seemed to tilt.

I couldn’t stop the silly grin that tugged at my lips. I took a deep breath.

"That's fantastic!" I blurted out, surprised by the volume of my voice. I felt like I could fly.
