enthusiastic - Story 44709 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The printer jammed again. As Maria waited, annoyed, she glanced at her coworker, Sam’s, phone case: Camp Pine Ridge. A thrill ran through her.

She approached Sam, her steps quickening. "Sam!" she exclaimed, a big smile plastered on her face. "Did you go to Camp Pine Ridge?"

He looked up, a little startled. "Yeah, how'd you know?"

"I was there every summer growing up! The horseback riding, the arts and crafts, the counselors… Did you ever go to the haunted house?" The words tumbled out of her.

He grinned. "No way! I remember the haunted house. And the archery!"

Maria felt a burst of happiness. This was going to make the workday a lot more interesting.
