joyful - Story 80383 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The paint fumes didn't bother Leo in the slightest. He hummed while applying a fresh coat to his living room wall. It was the color of sunset, just like Chloe’s eyes. He felt a warmth in his chest whenever he thought about her.

He’d almost finished the wall when his doorbell rang. It was Chloe, early! A huge grin plastered itself on his face. He raced to open the door, practically tripping over his own feet in his eagerness.

He threw the door wide, then stopped. There was another woman standing beside Chloe, also beaming at him. “Leo! You must be surprised," Chloe said. "I didn't realize you and Emily knew each other!"
