elated - Story 39103 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The coffee tasted like ambrosia. Sarah felt… light. It was the only word for it. Each step she took felt like she was floating just above the floor. She practically skipped into the office, feeling absolutely buoyant. Today was the day. She took a deep breath.

"Morning, Mark!" she called out, her voice filled with an almost manic cheerfulness. "Ready to learn the ropes? Because I am *so* ready to show you!" She felt a tingling sensation in her hands as she went through the daily tasks.

She found herself chatting, rambling about the company history, her own achievements, even detailing her upcoming trip to Italy. Mark looked a little overwhelmed, but Sarah was beyond caring. She'd be off to the Amalfi Coast before he knew it.
