dependent - Story 25168 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The band struck up a familiar song, and Leo felt his stomach drop. There was Anna, laughing with a group of friends near the dance floor. He was so unprepared. He felt a jolt of something akin to fear, a feeling he hadn't experienced in years.

He watched her, a knot forming in his throat. He felt the pull of the past, the comfortable patterns they'd shared, the sense of identity that had been intertwined with hers.

He reached for a canapé, then dropped it. He felt the need to get closer, to understand her and know that her presence was still the most important thing.
