indignant - Story 72565 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The audacity! That was the only thing that ran through Maya’s mind as she stared at the email. Liam, her *fiancé*'s best friend, was holding a video game tournament the same night as Maya’s engagement party. She’d spent weeks working on this!

She slammed the laptop shut with a loud crack, the sound echoing in the silent room. Her hands were shaking. She had booked the caterer, selected the venue, and designed the invitations. Everything was planned. Everything was ready.

She paced the room, her high heels clicking a staccato rhythm on the hardwood floor. Liam knew how important this was to her! She was going to have a serious conversation with both him and her fiancé.
