irritated - Story 78073 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The coffee shop was a swirling vortex of chattering voices and the clatter of ceramic mugs. Mark clenched his jaw, scanning the room. He felt a pressure building behind his eyes. He’d known Amy for months online, and she had a way of making him feel comfortable, but the prospect of meeting her in person made him feel…trapped. He should have just made up an excuse.

He saw her then, her familiar profile, framed by messy brown hair. He felt a sudden, sharp ache in his stomach. He forced a smile as she waved him over. He took a deep, shaky breath, knowing that this was happening now.

The smile faltered as he started walking towards her.
