irate - Story 77163 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The moment David saw her, his stomach twisted. She was dancing, radiating joy, and he wanted to snatch that joy away. He gripped the edge of the bar, the cold metal a small comfort against the heat rising in his neck. This was unfair.

He hadn't been expecting this. To see Chloe, seemingly thriving, with a man he didn't recognize, was a punch to the gut. He felt the familiar sting of betrayal, the bitter taste of regret. He was so close to her, but also so far away.

He slammed his fist against the bar, the bartender jumped. "Scotch. Neat," he managed to rasp out, his voice rough with unshed words.
