elated - Story 39937 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The rain was coming down in sheets. Liam was expecting another boring day at work. Instead, there they were - delivered to his office. Dahlias. He paused, speechless, his jaw dropping open. No card.

Dahlias! He'd always loved them. They were, in his opinion, the most beautiful of all flowers. He turned the vase around, looking for any clue.

His heart thumped against his ribs, a lively rhythm. Who could have sent them? He couldn't stop the grin that was stretching across his face.

He had to find out. But first, he would arrange them. They would be perfect.
