disgusted - Story 29655 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Meet me at the usual spot," she'd typed. A casual sentence, meant for her best friend. Instead, it was now on the phone of her ex-boyfriend, a man she hadn't spoken to in six months. The nausea hit her immediately.

Her reflection in the car window showed a face drained of color. The scent of stale air freshener filled the car, making her want to open the window and breathe in anything else.

She swerved to the side of the road, pulling over. The world swam. The thought of what he might think, what he might *do*, was unbearable.

She fumbled for the emergency brake, then rested her head against the steering wheel.
