humiliated - Story 67568 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of freshly baked cake did nothing to soothe the tightness in Sofia's chest. She had painstakingly decorated the cupcakes herself for her planned book club gathering for her birthday. That was, until Jessica, her so-called friend, had decided to host a lavish masquerade ball the same night.

She’d sent out her invites weeks ago, and she was left with barely any RSVPs.

Her phone buzzed. Another cancellation. She stared at the screen, and the cake suddenly seemed less delicious, its frosting sickly sweet.
