Happiness and excitement, for two

Answer:

MOODS

Hint:

Not available

Explanation:

This clue plays on the phrase "happiness and excitement," which describes two emotional states—both types of "moods." The "for two" hints that the answer is plural, pointing to "MOODS" instead of just "mood." It’s a straightforward definition with a slight twist, relying on the solver to recognize that the clue is listing examples of the answer rather than defining it directly.
