uneasy - Story 156567 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The invitations had gone out weeks ago, and now, as the day approached, Clara felt a growing unease. Her party was a karaoke night. Leo's was a fancy dinner at a very expensive restaurant.

She couldn't focus on anything. She kept re-reading the RSVP list, counting and recounting the numbers. Her throat tightened every time she imagined the other party.

She pulled out her phone, debating. Should she call her friends? Warn them? No, that would be worse. The thought of it, made her sit down hard on the kitchen chair.
