enthusiastic - Story 44698 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of freshly baked bread wafted from the cafe downstairs, but I had no appetite. I couldn't eat. I wandered around the office, trying to appear nonchalant, but my body wouldn’t cooperate. My leg kept bouncing, and I kept grinning, unbidden.

I bumped into my friend, Emily, in the hallway. I tried to make small talk, but my sentences came out rushed, breathless.

“Anything yet?” I blurted out, unable to contain my curiosity. She shook her head, offering a sympathetic smile. I took a deep breath, trying to maintain composure.
