frustrated - Story 51170 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The whole day had been a disaster from the start. Now, staring at the seating chart, Sarah's breath caught in her throat. Across from her name, she saw the one name she hoped she wouldn't see: Liam. Her stomach churned. She felt a sharp pang of pain in her chest.

She stood frozen, staring at the paper. The beautifully calligraphed letters seemed to mock her. The room began to spin.

She grabbed the chart and angrily ripped it down. "This cannot be happening," she muttered, her voice trembling. "Absolutely not." She spun on her heel, determined to find the wedding planner.
