jealous - Story 79816 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He stared at the business card. *Ashley, LCSW*. It felt like a punch in the gut. He'd avoided Ashley for years, after she made his life hell in high school. Now, he was actually thinking about seeing her.

He threw the card across the room, watching it flutter to the floor. His teeth ground together. He considered calling his own therapist, but the thought of even mentioning this… this *situation*… felt impossible.

He kicked the couch cushion. It was a stupid, childish reaction, and he hated himself for it.
