jealous - Story 79184 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The late afternoon light cast long shadows across the living room as Ethan watched Liam pace back and forth, phone pressed tightly to his ear. The hushed tones, the forced calm in Liam’s voice… it was unnerving. When Liam finally hung up, he looked flustered.

Ethan cleared his throat. "Everything okay?"

Liam avoided eye contact, fiddling with the hem of his shirt. "Yeah, everything's fine."

Ethan stood up and moved closer. The air between them was suddenly thick. "You seem… distant lately." He wanted to know the truth. The ache inside him was relentless.

Liam gave a forced smile. "Don't be silly." He turned, his back to Ethan, and quickly walked away.
