joyful - Story 80691 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The email pinged, and Amelia practically leaped out of her chair. It was the announcement – the promotion. She'd been in the running, along with David from accounting, and the suspense had been a coiled spring in her stomach for weeks. Now, seeing the subject line, a grin stretched across her face so wide her cheeks hurt.

She grabbed the mug from her desk, took a long swallow of lukewarm coffee, and decided to visit the water cooler. "Hey, Brenda!" she chirped as she walked by.

"Well, aren't you looking chipper?" Brenda said, raising an eyebrow. Amelia's shoulders bounced a little bit as she laughed. "Just a bit," she confirmed, then headed to the water cooler, humming a catchy tune.
