tormented - Story 152654 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone vibrated in Amelia's hand, jolting her. "Can't wait to see you tonight," she'd typed, intending it for her lover, David. It landed in the inbox of her best friend, Chloe. The color drained from her face. She closed her eyes, a sharp pain lancing through her head.

Amelia's fingers trembled as she deleted the message from her phone. She knew what this meant, she knew what it represented. The potential for the friendship to be ruined, the questions, the judgment. She wrapped her arms around herself, as if trying to physically contain the chaos bubbling inside.
