relieved - Story 115005 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone call had come out of the blue. A friend had spotted his design on someone. Liam pictured a legal battle. He pictured a confrontation. He pictured having to defend his work in court. His entire body was stiff with tension as he walked into the tattoo parlor. He eyed the person, a young man, in the chair.

“You’re the artist, right?” the young man asked. Liam felt the corners of his mouth twitching upwards.

"Yeah, that's me." The young man grinned and said "I love it! I've had it on my arm for months." The fight drained out of Liam. He felt lighter than he had in weeks.
