enthusiastic - Story 44554 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The car ride home felt like an eternity. I kept glancing at the empty backseat, imagining a sleek, black cat curled up there. I practically buzzed with anticipation.

My leg jiggled restlessly. I had already mentally rearranged the furniture, envisioned the cat perched on the windowsill, and even rehearsed the perfect greeting. A smile stretched across my face.

Reaching the apartment, I practically sprinted to the door, fumbling with the keys. I could hear myself mumbling, "He'll love her, he’ll absolutely love her."
