envious - Story 45169 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The wedding was in full swing. Loud music, happy people and Sarah's ex, Mark, looked particularly happy in their midst. She watched him across the room as he danced with his new girlfriend. It felt like a punch to the gut.

She found herself picking at her nails, then playing with the corner of her napkin. His new girlfriend was laughing. It felt so easy for her.

Sarah excused herself and went to find her friend, trying to hide the lump that had suddenly formed in her throat. The band began to play a song that they used to love.
