at ease - Story 11386 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David rested his head against the headrest of the car, the hum of the engine a soothing background noise. The scenery of the countryside was lovely. He and Emily had spent the entire day together, hiking, picnicking. He relished these moments. He planned on proposing that night.

A text came through, a picture of David and Emily, laughing together at a cafe. Another text followed immediately afterwards, a message from the person who sent the picture: “You’re with *her*?” David was stunned.
