exuberant - Story 49184 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The car radio blasted his favourite song, and he drummed on the steering wheel, singing along at the top of his lungs. He was on top of the world. He'd just secured the promotion, and he couldn’t wait to share the fantastic news with his partner, Liam. He pulled into the driveway, grinning like a fool. Liam was on the phone, pacing in the kitchen.

Liam saw him, but didn't meet his eyes, just waved curtly. Once he was done with his call, he said, "I have to leave for a while, something unexpected came up, you know."

The smile slipped from his face, replaced by a feeling of lead in his gut. The music turned to silence.
