hostile - Story 66163 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The string quartet’s rendition of “Here Comes the Bride” grated on David’s nerves. He hadn’t been expecting to see her, not tonight. Seeing Chloe, standing near the bar in a shimmering dress, her eyes sparkling, felt like a physical blow. A tightness formed in his chest.

He stalked over to the bar, ignoring the well-wishers and the joyous chatter. When the bartender asked what he wanted, he barked, “Scotch. Neat.” He took a long, burning gulp, the alcohol doing little to soothe the internal storm. He knew he should leave, but something kept him rooted to the spot, watching her.
