greedy - Story 56572 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Rain lashed against the windows of the coffee shop, mirroring the storm brewing inside Arthur. He’d seen Amelia at the farmers market this morning, and he’d been so sure she’d recognize him. He’d been rehearsing his lines all day. He wanted to see her reaction. He'd wanted the validation.

He'd waited, pretending to work on his laptop, until she got close enough. He’d practically vibrated with anticipation.

"Amelia?" he’d asked, pushing his chair back a little as she approached. Her brow furrowed.

“I… I don’t think we’ve met,” she’d said, her voice soft but firm. Arthur felt a knot tighten in his stomach. A wave of irritation washed over him as he watched her order a simple latte, without knowing the importance of the situation. He wanted to demand she remember, wanted the attention she clearly wasn't going to give him. He wanted her to pay attention to him. He wanted *more.*
