envious - Story 45734 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"You're going to love Boston!" Emily squealed, her voice ringing with sheer, unadulterated joy. Olivia, her best friend, was radiating excitement as she finalized her move. Olivia's move meant a new job, a new city, a whole new chapter. Emily just felt… empty.

Olivia had always been the one to take the risks, to leap into the unknown. Emily preferred the safety and comfort of what she knew. She listened as Olivia described her charming new apartment and how her new office overlooked the river. A wave of bitterness washed over her.

The phone calls became shorter. Olivia would gush about her new life, and Emily would find herself struggling to feign interest. She was so very happy for Olivia. She just wished she felt the same, too.
