shocked - Story 132167 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The best man was about to start his speech, and the entire room quieted. Then, amidst the crowd, Liam saw her. He had to blink twice to be sure. It was Olivia. She was laughing, her arm interlocked with a man he didn't recognize. A hot flush crept up his neck.

He felt as if he had been slapped. His carefully constructed composure shattered. He gripped the edge of the table, his knuckles turning white. The words of the speech started to blend into noise.

He looked away, unable to meet her gaze. The room spun slightly, and he felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead.
