offended - Story 95569 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Her palms started to sweat when she got the email - "David's hosting a black-tie gala!" Her own party was a casual barbecue. It felt like a deliberate slight.

She sat in stunned silence for several moments, the screen of her laptop reflecting her bewildered expression. She'd put so much thought into her party, crafting personalized invitations and choosing just the right music. Now, her carefully laid plans felt almost laughable.

She started avoiding David. She found herself obsessively checking her social media, comparing her life to his. The day of the barbecue, she faked a migraine, retreating to her bedroom and pulling the covers over her head, shutting out the world.
