jealous - Story 79667 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air grew thick with unspoken tension. Melissa, trapped in the elevator with Chris and the new temp, Sarah, felt a rising heat in her cheeks. Chris, usually a reserved and quiet individual, was now animatedly sharing office gossip with Sarah.

Melissa picked at a hangnail, ignoring their banter. She felt the muscles in her neck tighten as Chris offered Sarah a piece of his chocolate bar.

She tried to concentrate on the emergency instructions posted on the wall, but her thoughts kept returning to the easy rapport between them.

She took a deep breath, forcing a smile when Sarah finally turned to her. It felt brittle and unnatural.
