insulted - Story 75168 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Well, well, if it isn't Robert," came the smooth voice, and Emily's smile froze. It was her ex, and he was smiling, as if this was all a game. She felt a wave of… something… wash over her.

She barely managed a strained greeting before turning back to her friends, her voice tight and clipped as she recounted a trivial anecdote. She felt a sharp pressure in her chest, a constant reminder of how casually he'd moved on.

She kept her distance for the rest of the evening, watching him from afar, a strange mix of emotions churning within her.
