surprised - Story 144182 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Eliza found the phone tucked under the sofa cushion. It wasn't hers; it was Mark’s, a model he’d claimed he’d retired months ago. Curiosity, a rare visitor, sparked within her. She scrolled through the call log. Repeated numbers. Short calls. Late at night. A knot tightened in her stomach.

She walked into the living room, where Mark was engrossed in a football match. His voice boomed with laughter. She stood there, frozen. His cheerful normalcy felt like a betrayal. "Everything okay?" she managed, her voice barely a whisper.

He looked up, brow furrowed. "Yeah, why?" He looked back at the game, completely oblivious.
