jealous - Story 79443 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lump in Daniel’s throat was as big as a golf ball. He watched Chloe, across the small shared space, humming to herself as she cooked pasta. A melody that somehow felt… familiar. He recognized the tune she was whistling as the one he’d written in his journal, the one he’d poured his heart into describing his feelings for her.

He felt a burning in his chest, a tight, squeezing sensation. He was the one who was supposed to be sharing his feelings, not her.

“That smells good,” he managed to croak out.

Chloe looked up, a bright smile on her face. "Oh, thanks! I got this recipe from... a magazine." He didn't believe her for a second.
