defiant - Story 23168 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air crackled around Fiona as she saw Ben. She saw him across the room, talking to the groomsmen. She immediately crossed her arms. She would not hide. She would not run. She would not acknowledge.

She moved with purpose, smiling and talking to the guests, but always ensuring she was visible, always drawing attention to herself. He could see her. He could see how well she was doing.

She caught his eye. He made a small smile. She turned away. She would not give him the satisfaction. She continued her walk around the dance floor, and the dance floor was hers.
