envious - Story 45167 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The clinking of glasses sounded like tiny daggers in Leo’s ears. He watched Sophia, his ex, laughing with the best man. He felt a sharp pang. His chest tightened. She looked radiant.

He tried to focus on the congratulatory speech, but every few seconds his gaze drifted back to her. He remembered all the things that had gone wrong, the arguments, the misunderstandings. It felt like yesterday, yet an eternity ago.

He found himself wanting to say something, anything. Then, he watched the best man lean in, and felt a burning sensation in his stomach. He looked away, his jaw clenched, and walked to the bar.
