humiliated - Story 67385 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The expensive champagne suddenly tasted like vinegar in her mouth. As Sarah watched her boyfriend, Mark, embrace another woman, the bubbles seemed to mock her. The woman, with her perfectly coiffed hair and flawless makeup, looked vaguely familiar. Then it clicked. Sarah had seen her at the gym – the one Mark had claimed was "too far" for him to go to.

Sarah felt a coldness spread through her. Her carefully crafted facade of confidence began to crumble. The room spun slightly. She wanted to scream, to lash out, but the words caught in her throat.

She took a large gulp of the unwanted drink and wanted to go home and sleep.
