irate - Story 77078 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The music in the pub was deafening, but Liam felt the pressure building behind his eyes. He had been anticipating a calm evening. Then, he bumped into the person he had been anonymously flirting with. "LovelyLilac" was her user name. Here she was, laughing with friends near the bar.

He felt the muscles in his neck tighten. He had written her dozens of heartfelt messages, poured his soul into every single one. Had it all been for nothing? A hot, stinging sensation burned behind his eyes.

He didn't know what to do. His hands were clenched so tight, he was certain he'd leave nail marks on his palms. He considered leaving. He considered confronting her.
