disgusted - Story 29182 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Michael watched Sarah put the phone down, her face flushed with an emotion he couldn't name. She’d been outside, “getting some air,” as she put it. The way she tucked her hair behind her ear, the sudden nervous energy in her movements, set his teeth on edge. He cleared his throat. "Everything alright?" She said it was a work thing, quickly, too quickly. Later, he avoided her touch. He pulled away when she reached for his hand across the dinner table. He felt… hollow.
