amazed - Story 3185 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Hello?" I echoed, my voice sounding tinny and small in the echoing hallway. The muffled sound of my wife, Jessica, talking filled the air, her voice distorted and unclear, but I heard a giggle. Then, quickly, the call ended. I didn’t know how to act. I felt a surge of energy shoot through me and down to my toes. I glanced at the closed bedroom door, then back at my phone.

Jessica wouldn't lie to me. Would she? I wasn’t sure.

I ran my hands through my hair, a nervous gesture I hadn’t made in years. The world suddenly looked like a place of secrets, hidden truths. I didn't know how to move.
