relieved - Story 115195 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Be brave, sweetheart,” I said to my son, Alex, as we approached the classroom. I'd been expecting the worst. Then I saw the name. Mrs. Rodriguez. My Mrs. Rodriguez, who had a smile that could melt glaciers. The words felt like they were stuck in my throat.

I watched Alex bound into the classroom, his face lit up with a grin. I felt my chest loosen, a sensation of weightlessness. It was going to be fine. More than fine, I realized. This was perfect.
