enthusiastic - Story 44655 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The proposal went perfectly! She was ecstatic. The ring sparkled on her finger. She had to share the joy. She shot off a text to her sister: "I said YES! Wedding planning starts NOW! Champagne is flowing!" She practically skipped to the nearest table to order a celebratory drink.

A notification popped up, and her stomach plummeted. "Who is this? And what's with the exclamation points?" Her face burned.

She'd clearly texted the wrong person. The pure, unadulterated joy she'd been feeling threatened to evaporate. She thought it was too awkward to even respond.

But, a tiny voice inside her encouraged her to do just the opposite. She felt a lightness, the energy of the day, still coursing through her. She tapped back a reply: "OMG! So sorry! Accidentally sent that to you. But, if you ever need wedding planning advice, I'm your girl!" She sent the text, then laughed.
