irritated - Story 78157 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The celebratory drinks were a mistake. I knew it as soon as I agreed. Liam was bubbling over with excitement, his words a constant stream of self-congratulation. Each sentence, a tiny jab.

I watched him across the table, his face flushed with triumph. He clinked his glass to mine. "To the future!"

My teeth clenched. I took a large gulp of my drink, the bitterness of the alcohol doing little to soothe the growing tension in my chest. I stared at him, unable to conjure even a polite smile. I just wanted to leave.

“You okay?” he asked, noticing my silence.

“Fine,” I ground out.
