indignant - Story 72169 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The band started playing a slow song, and Amy saw him. There was John, looking relaxed and comfortable. Her heart thumped in her chest, a rapid, uneven rhythm. She felt a surge of… disapproval wash over her.

She quickly grabbed another glass of wine, as if she needed it. She felt a strange buzzing behind her ears. She forced herself to focus on the dance floor, avoiding his gaze. She didn't want him to think that she cared.

She felt a surge of resentment as he began to dance with someone. She turned away. She found herself scanning the room, as if looking for an escape, but there was none. She felt trapped.
