vibrant - Story 163164 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air smelled of lilies and expensive perfume. Liam had been enjoying the open bar with an enthusiasm he hadn’t felt in… well, a very long time. He'd even managed to avoid getting into any arguments with his eccentric Aunt Carol. He felt… buoyant, light.

He was halfway through a second glass of champagne when he saw her standing near the cake table, looking elegant, if somewhat somber. The sight of her sparked an internal heat, not anger, but a peculiar sort of electricity.

"Hey," he said, his voice a little too loud. "Fancy meeting you here."

"Liam," she replied, her voice soft. "Congratulations to the happy couple."

He raised his glass. "Cheers to that. And cheers to… everything." He took a long, slow sip.
