insulted - Story 75834 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The receipt, crumpled and forgotten in the laundry basket, spoke volumes. "Luxury Spa Package: $800." Liam stared at it, the paper crinkling in his sweaty palm. He'd been nagging for months about the leaky faucet. Sarah had sighed, saying they couldn't afford a plumber just yet. His jaw ached from clenching it.

He imagined her, pampered, relaxed, while he was wrestling with DIY projects. The image burned in his mind. He found himself picking apart every detail of their shared life. He hadn’t realized how much she’d withdrawn from him, emotionally.

He skipped dinner, claiming a headache. Later, in bed, he turned away from her, the warmth of her body suddenly unwelcome. He couldn’t bring himself to meet her gaze.
