loving - Story 86068 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I felt a coldness wash over me as I saw the word “denied” on the screen. My dream, it seemed, was slipping away. But then my dog, a scruffy terrier mix, nudged my hand with his wet nose, his tail thumping against the floor. I knelt down and wrapped my arms around him, burying my face in his fur. The rhythmic beat of his heartbeat grounded me, a steady reassurance in the storm of disappointment. His presence gave a new meaning to the day.
