offended - Story 95941 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The laptop screen flickered, casting a cold blue light across Amelia's face. The words – *Her jaw tightened, the way it always did when she was lying* – stared back at her. A flush crept up her neck, a heat that prickled at her skin. Across the room, Liam hummed, oblivious, mixing a drink. She slammed the laptop shut. The click echoed in the sudden silence.

Liam turned, a quizzical expression on his face. "Everything alright?" he asked, holding up the cocktail shaker.

Amelia’s voice was sharp. "What is this?" she demanded, gesturing towards the closed laptop.

His smile wavered. "Oh, that? Just... working on something." He avoided her gaze, fiddling with the shaker. A knot formed in her stomach. Lies. He was clearly lying.
