nervous - Story 92185 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The clatter of the pans in the kitchen seemed impossibly loud. I kept glancing towards the kitchen door, watching for Leo to come through. His recent behavior was making me feel edgy. I could feel the blood pounding in my temples. He'd been leaving his phone in the other room and smiling in a way he hadn't in months. He'd been getting calls he wouldn't answer in front of me. I turned off the stove and walked to the window.

A cold wave of dread washed over me. I needed to know the truth. The tension felt unbearable.
