exuberant - Story 49707 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sterile office environment melted away as I listened to Alex talk about his childhood. The humming of the computers faded to a soft background noise. I felt my chest expand with a sudden rush of warmth. My fingers were almost dancing on the keyboard.

"Camp Evergreen?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper.

Alex’s eyes widened. "You know it?"

I practically vibrated with the urge to talk. "I practically lived there! I loved it!" I felt my whole face light up.
