furious - Story 53164 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Oh, look who it is," muttered Eleanor, her voice tight with suppressed emotion. The words caught in her throat, almost strangled by their own fury. It was a curse.

She stared, unblinking, at Thomas. He was chatting with the bride, his head inclined, his smile as wide and insincere as she remembered. She wanted to scream. She wanted to run. She wanted to… well, she didn’t know what she wanted.

She retreated to the bar, ordering a double whiskey. The bartender, sensing her mood, didn’t make conversation. Good. Silence was welcome. She slammed back the drink, the burn a temporary distraction.

Each clink of glasses, each burst of laughter, grated on her nerves. She felt a tremor in her hands, a simmering heat spreading through her veins. He ruined everything.
