resentful - Story 117080 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Oh, it's *you*," Olivia said to the woman standing at her door. She had known “TravelBugBeth” for months, pouring her heart and soul into their online exchanges. Now, there Beth stood.

Olivia took a step back. She'd shared secrets, dreams, and worries with this woman. And now, the woman was here. In the flesh. On her doorstep.

She hated the fact that her online world, the one she curated with such care, had crashed into her actual life. She wished Beth wasn’t there, that Beth didn't exist in the same reality as her. The thought of letting her in was worse than anything she had ever felt before.
