nervous - Story 92660 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The concert hall buzzed with anticipation. As the lights dimmed, Chloe realized she'd texted her ex-boyfriend "I'm so excited to see you here tonight," when she meant to text the other person she was seeing.

She felt a sudden chill, despite the heat of the crowd. She looked around, searching for a face. The realization of what she’d done left her feeling shaky.

The opening chords of the music washed over her, but the noise felt distant. She imagined the confusion, the hurt. She chewed her lip, the taste of metal filling her mouth. The rest of the show will be difficult to endure.
