enthusiastic - Story 44703 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The morning meeting dragged on, but Sarah barely paid attention. All she could think about was the photograph on John's desk. The logo was clear and familiar: Camp Greenhaven. She needed to ask him about it. Her stomach felt like it was doing cartwheels.

Finally, the meeting ended. She practically flew to John's desk. He was hunched over his computer, looking serious as always.

"John," she blurted, her voice a little shaky. "Did you...do you still have that picture of Camp Greenhaven?"

He looked up, surprised, then a slow smile spread across his face. "You went there, too? I thought I recognized you."

"Oh my gosh! Remember the zipline? I was so scared. And the campfire songs...did you ever go skinny dipping?" Sarah's cheeks flushed, but the embarrassment was overshadowed by an almost giddy feeling.

He chuckled. "Yeah, I remember it all. What were you in the '88 summer?"
