enthusiastic - Story 44551 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Sarah bounced on the balls of her feet as she waited for Liam to get home from work. The carrier, purchased that morning, sat proudly by the door, promising a furry arrival. She could barely contain herself!

A giggle escaped her lips as she pictured a tiny, fluffy kitten batting at her shoelaces. "He'll love it, he *has* to," she muttered, her fingers tracing the outline of the carrier. Her chest felt light, almost airy, like she could float away.

She’d already prepped the living room, clearing a space for a scratching post and a plush little bed. The anticipation was almost painful, a delightful ache behind her ribs.
