alarmed - Story 1566 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Sophie stared at the two event invitations, one for her own cooking class, and the other for her friend, Jessica’s, cocktail party. She felt a wave of icy water wash over her. It was such a cruel twist of fate. How could this be happening?

She paced back and forth across her apartment. Her mind whirled, desperately trying to find a solution. The thought of all her friends choosing Jessica's, far more tempting, party filled her with an unpleasant buzzing.

She needed to get ahead of this. She grabbed her phone and desperately scrolled through her contact list, considering who to call first, who could be persuaded to come to her class instead.
