miserable - Story 89386 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The park felt vibrant and alive with laughter, the sun warm on Alice's face. The perfect setting for a picnic, she thought. She had spent hours preparing the food, carefully choosing the perfect blanket. But James, her boyfriend, seemed distracted, fidgeting and checking his watch. He kept glancing at his phone, his smile strained.

He abruptly stood up, his face flushed. "I... I have to go," he stammered, avoiding her gaze. "Something came up."

Alice felt a cold dread creep into her chest. He was always doing that.

A woman walked over.

"James?" she asked.

Alice looked at her.

"I thought I saw you here," the woman said, smiling. "Oh, by the way, I think I'm pregnant."
