spiteful - Story 138738 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone call. "I got the job, Jamie! In Seattle!" Mark’s excitement felt like a slap in the face. Their life had always been a shared adventure, and now he was leaving her behind.

Jamie, who had a fear of heights, had always wanted to learn to climb. Before he left, Mark had offered to take her up a cliff face. When they were almost at the top, Mark pretended to be exhausted and handed her the rope.

She felt an awful panic. "Mark, I can't do this!" she screamed. "I thought you wanted to." It was clear he was enjoying the situation, his grin wider than it should have been.
