tired - Story 151161 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The champagne flute felt heavy in Amelia's hand. The ballroom lights swam a little, blurring the edges of the already overly enthusiastic dance floor. She’d promised Sarah she’d be here, and she would stick it out, but every thump of the bass drum reverberated through her bones, a dull ache behind her eyes. Seeing Sarah so happy was wonderful, but the noise, the forced conviviality… it was all a bit much. Then, across the room, she saw him. Liam. He looked… well, he looked as handsome as ever, and that simple observation sent a fresh wave of something akin to exhaustion through her.
