exuberant - Story 49166 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David had just finished telling a wildly exaggerated story about a mishap with the wedding favors, and the group around him was roaring with laughter. He felt a lightness that defied gravity. He could hardly contain himself, he could hardly stop the smile from spreading.

Then he saw her. He froze mid-laugh, but the smile remained, fixed in place like a permanent fixture. He could feel his cheeks getting hot. He took a deep breath.

She looked stunning. Absolutely. He had to say something.

"Hey," he blurted out.

She smiled. “Hey,” she replied. He couldn't help himself. He was going to spend the whole night making her smile.
