defiant - Story 23167 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant colors of the wedding felt like a challenge to Ethan. He surveyed the scene, then scanned the room for Sarah. He found her quickly, talking and laughing with a group of friends, her eyes bright and filled with joy. He was not surprised to see her, he knew it was going to happen. He'd prepared himself.

He went to the bar, and requested the most expensive drink, and ordered a second. He was enjoying the cocktail, when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned. It was Sarah. She said something. He didn't care to listen.

He responded with a polite nod, and turned back to the bar, taking another long swallow of his drink. He didn't look in her direction again. His focus was the drink.
