uneasy - Story 156073 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Rain lashed against the windows of Maya's small coffee shop, mirroring the turmoil brewing inside her. She’d messaged with "Cosmic_Voyager" for months, sharing dreams and anxieties, never once revealing her real name or location. Now, he wanted to meet at the very place she worked.

She'd offered a weak smile to the first customer of the day. Her hands felt clumsy, making coffee too quickly, dropping a spoon. She caught herself biting her lip, a habit she thought she'd broken years ago. The air in the shop seemed to thicken with each passing minute.

She checked her reflection in the coffee machine's polished steel. Her normally vibrant hair looked dull, her eyes shadowed. She felt a prickling sensation on her skin, as if she were under observation. The bell above the door chimed, and Maya's heart skipped a beat. She hoped the person walking through the door wasn't him.
