impatient - Story 70319 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A sense of restlessness had settled over Daniel. He paced his apartment, unable to sit still. He had waited for this for too long. He had wanted to show Sarah his apartment as soon as possible. He had to be quick.

He glanced at the clock on the wall. The second hand seemed to move at a snail’s pace.

He heard a soft voice, filled with hesitation, coming from the bedroom. " *Ciao, Daniel*." She was practicing her Italian. He felt a sharp jab of… something… in his chest.

He stopped pacing, his fists clenched. He wanted to go to her and… do something. He grabbed the doorknob.
