jealous - Story 79869 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Mr. Jenkins saw the small, leather-bound journal and his hands clenched. It came from Emily Carter, who'd always been a bit…difficult. The note was sweet, thanking him for his "unfailing belief." He didn’t know how to feel.

He felt his neck tighten as he examined the journal. He saw some of the other teachers admiring the gift. They looked happy. He didn't want the journal.

He went to his car and drove home. He had nothing to say to his wife.
