suspicious - Story 145733 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The text message buzzed on Emily's phone, but she ignored it. She watched Mark pace in her living room, a restless energy buzzing around him. He'd been like this all evening.

He stopped, abruptly, and ran a hand through his hair. "It's… complicated," he said, avoiding her eyes. The words felt carefully chosen, weighed down with hidden meanings.

Emily felt a chill crawl up her spine. This morning, he was teasing her about her plans for a new pet. Now, he seemed disconnected, his usually warm brown eyes cold. The way he kept glancing at the window made her teeth ache. Something was clearly being kept from her.

She forced a laugh. "Complicated? You're acting like you're about to elope." He didn't laugh back.
