enthusiastic - Story 44812 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A wave of… elation, that’s what it was, crashed over Leo. He’d seen the flyer at the gym. A seminar on handling workplace stress, led by… Karen Miller? Therapist? No way!

He practically jogged home, his mind already formulating a mental checklist. He needed to find his old, slightly too-small, letterman jacket. The one Karen used to rip the buttons off of. This was shaping up to be truly something.

His pulse hammered in his ears as he considered the possibilities. Would she remember him? Would she be mortified? He clapped his hands together, the sound echoing in his empty apartment. Oh, this was going to be brilliant!
