thrilled - Story 150195 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The first day of school loomed, and Jessica felt a nervous flutter in her stomach, but it was nothing compared to the butterflies she felt when she saw her daughter's teacher was Mrs. Albright. Her eyes lit up. She felt a surge of energy, a warmth spreading through her chest. The same Mrs. Albright who had made her feel safe, seen, and empowered to express herself.

She couldn’t stop herself from smiling. "This is going to be amazing," she whispered to herself.

She knew, deep down, that her daughter was in good hands. The thought filled her with a profound sense of peace. She felt like she could fly.
