suspicious - Story 145295 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She’d been particularly distant all week. The air around her held a tension he couldn't quite name. She also kept putting her phone away when he was around.

The news from the party planner confirmed what he already knew. The cancellation email read like a clumsy attempt to cover something up. He glanced at the calendar; his birthday was in two days.
