insulted - Story 75817 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The Zoom call connected, and Claire saw the smiling face of… Brad. Brad, the boy who'd once spread a hurtful rumour that nearly ruined her reputation in high school. Now, he was "Dr. Brad Peterson, Licensed Therapist."

A flush of heat rose in her cheeks. She fought the urge to disconnect. She needed this session. She’d been struggling lately. She forced a smile. She made a conscious effort to keep her shoulders back.

“Hi, Claire. Good to see you,” Brad said, his voice measured and professional. His casual pleasantness seemed almost offensive. She felt her muscles contract. This was going to be harder than she thought.
