suspicious - Story 145182 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The low murmur of laughter drifting from the bedroom was what woke Mark. He knew his wife, Sarah, was on the phone, but the way her voice rose and fell, laced with a familiar intimacy he hadn't heard in ages, pricked at him. He lay in bed, feigning sleep, listening.

He felt a strange pressure in his chest, making it hard to breathe. He imagined her, curled up on the bed, her face lit by the phone's glow, sharing secrets with someone else. A cold wave washed over him. He wanted to march in there, demand answers, but instead, he remained still, a heavy feeling settling in his gut.
