suspicious - Story 145555 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the apartment felt thin, as if the oxygen had been partially depleted. Alex kept darting glances at Chloe. Chloe had been unusually quiet all day, almost subdued, ever since he'd vetoed the idea of a guinea pig.

She'd been meticulously cleaning the kitchen, scrubbing counters, polishing the sink. Her usual messiness had vanished, replaced by an unsettling orderliness. Alex found himself walking around the apartment trying to find a reason to leave.

He glanced at the coat rack, Chloe’s coat was missing. He looked around again and realized his key was gone. He walked back to the coat rack, searching for his own, and found them in the pocket of Chloe's coat.
