envious - Story 45388 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the art gallery was thick with the scent of expensive perfume and pretentious conversation. Chloe found herself unable to enjoy the paintings, her gaze constantly drawn to a figure across the room. *He* was standing with a woman, his head close to hers, whispering.

Chloe's throat tightened. She had chosen this gallery, this event, hoping for an evening alone with him, for a night of intellectual discussions, and a touch of intimacy. The woman was beautiful, and sophisticated, and everything that Chloe felt she wasn't.

She downed her wine, quickly, and then poured another. The laughter, that familiar laugh, grated on her nerves. She wanted to interrupt, to pull *him* away, to remind him of their plans. She found herself retreating into the crowd, seeking a way to disappear.
