pleased - Story 106449 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of freshly baked cookies filled the dorm room. Mia had left her journal on the kitchen counter that morning. Now, she entered to see her roommate, Chloe, carefully placing a plate of cookies on the table.

Mia let out a small gasp. “Cookies? For me?”

Chloe jumped, spilling a bit of milk on the counter. "Yeah," she mumbled, quickly wiping it up. Mia noticed a slight tremble in her hands.

Mia walked over to the table and took a cookie. She bit into it slowly, savoring the taste. The cookie was perfectly baked. A smile stretched across her face.
