humiliated - Story 67163 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Oh, hey, Mark," Chloe managed, her voice a strained whisper. He was even more handsome than she remembered. Damn him. He'd looked straight through her and acknowledged her date with a nod before the ceremony.

She gripped her clutch so tightly her knuckles whitened. She'd told everyone, and herself, that she was happy. And she was, wasn’t she? Except, seeing him here, with that effortless, easy smile...it felt like she was back in high school again, awkward and unsure of herself.

The music started, a slow dance. Mark’s eyes met hers, a fleeting moment of recognition. She quickly averted her gaze, suddenly desperate for a distraction. She grabbed the nearest waiter and requested another glass of wine, anything to fill the void.
