joyful - Story 80381 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The cafe buzzed with the afternoon rush, but Amelia barely noticed. Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the steam rising from her latte. A wide, giddy smile stretched across her face. She'd just received the most amazing text from Daniel: a surprise weekend getaway planned!

Her fingers danced across her phone, selecting the perfect emoji to send back. A little heart, of course, but maybe with a kissy face? She chewed on her lip, giggling. This was it. She was finally, truly, in love.

Then, a voice. "Amelia? Fancy meeting you here!" A woman, incredibly stylish, stood beside her table. Amelia, still buoyant, waved her over. "Hey! So good to see you, um…"

The woman’s smile faltered. "Oh, you don't know me, do you?" She took a breath. "I'm Sarah. Daniel’s girlfriend."
