envious - Story 45839 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The cold, hard facts stared up at him. Harold had always considered himself a good husband, a reliable partner. But the balance in the account his wife, Mary, had kept secret from him showed that he’d been wrong. The knowledge sparked a strange, uncomfortable burn inside him.

The familiar scent of Mary's perfume, the one she'd worn for years, now felt like a taunt. Her casual chatter about her day, the news stories she shared, seemed hollow, filled with hidden meanings. He couldn't shake the feeling that he was an outsider.

He began to drive around town aimlessly. He hated the thought of returning to that house. He didn't know what to feel, but he knew he was not happy.
