suspicious - Story 145166 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

From the moment she spotted him near the bar, Emily felt a sudden chill. He wasn't the boisterous, laughing Mark she remembered. The way he kept circling the room, his eyes scanning the faces, was almost unnerving. He’d seemed to be avoiding her, and the avoidance only magnified the unease. A quick exchange with the caterer made her jumpy, like she'd been caught doing something wrong. It was the way he subtly angled himself, always ensuring she was in his field of vision that bothered her.
