joyful - Story 80652 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Liam was practically vibrating with energy. The job offer, the sunshine, the coffee - it was all perfect. He clapped his hands together, then grabbed his phone. “YES! I'm in! Drinks tonight? ;)” he texted. A beat of silence. Then, a reply: “Drinks? I thought we were at the library until 6.” He blinked. His sister? He stared at his phone, his chest feeling light, a giddy feeling welling up from his stomach. His gaze wandered to the window, the blue sky seeming to shimmer. “Oops. Wrong number, I guess.” He couldn't help the wide, unbidden smile that stretched across his face.
