exuberant - Story 49182 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

John bounced on the balls of his feet, whistling a complex melody as he waited for the coffee to brew. Today was the day! The gallery had accepted his painting, and he was practically vibrating with anticipation. His partner, David, came out of the bathroom, phone pressed to his ear. "Yeah, I'll be there," he said quickly, then hung up.

John beamed. "Good morning!" he greeted, voice brimming with happiness. "Coffee's almost ready. Then, news!"

David’s smile didn’t quite reach his eyes. "Great," he said, voice tight. He grabbed his keys and announced he was running late for a meeting.

The joyous atmosphere evaporated as quickly as steam. John frowned, the melody he'd been whistling fading in his mind. The coffee machine sputtered.
