humiliated - Story 67387 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant colors of the art gallery seemed to mock her. Emily stared at the scene before her. Michael, her boyfriend, was gesturing animatedly, deep in conversation with another woman. The other woman, dressed in a familiar vintage dress, was also holding a glass of wine, as was Emily. It was almost as if they were supposed to be twins.

Emily’s fingers tightened around her own wine glass, the stem digging into her palm. She felt a knot forming in her stomach, a physical manifestation of her mounting dread. She felt her face burn. This was not how the evening was supposed to unfold.

She turned and fled, not even bothering to look back.
