relieved - Story 115340 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The relief was palpable. She felt… airy. The dread she'd felt at every invitation had simply evaporated. She leaned back, feeling lighter than she had in months. She reached for her phone to text her other friends. It was time to find a new spot.
