hopeful - Story 64189 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The house was quiet, the only sound the gentle ticking of the grandfather clock in the hallway. Sarah hummed as she ironed her clothes, a soft smile playing on her lips. She had a special day planned for Daniel; a long drive to the coast, a picnic on the beach, and, perhaps, a proposal. She had been anticipating this moment for a while now. She was already mentally planning how to decorate their new life together.

She heard his voice coming from the garden, speaking in hushed tones. Sarah paused, her hand frozen over the fabric, and a sudden chill ran down her spine. The words she overheard didn't seem to be addressed to her.
