enthusiastic - Story 44016 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The afternoon sun warmed Michael's face as he sat in the garden, a book open in his lap but unread. He kept staring at the gate, imagining his niece, Olivia, walking through it. The call earlier had filled him with a feeling of… anticipation.

He heard the crunch of gravel. He jumped to his feet, tucking the book under his arm. His smile was so wide, his cheeks felt tight.

Olivia walked into the garden, her face alight. Michael took a step towards her, his arms ready. He knew it would be a story worth waiting for.
