offended - Story 95424 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Are you going?" her husband asked, glancing over her shoulder at the invitation lying on the table. "Green Valley High - Class of '99."

"Absolutely not," Carol snapped, her voice sharper than she intended. She picked up a dish towel, scrubbing at the counter with excessive force.

Her breath hitched. She recalled the constant judging, the undercurrent of disdain. She hadn't been one of the "cool kids." She'd been... well, invisible. The thought of facing those people again made her skin crawl.

She changed the subject quickly, refusing to talk about it further, and busied herself with reorganizing the kitchen cabinets. The invitation remained, a silent, unwanted witness.
