uneasy - Story 156963 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The scent of lavender from the potpourri in the drawer did nothing to soothe David. He hadn't meant to find it. He was looking for a stapler, not a list detailing everything Maya wanted to do.

He ran a hand through his hair, a nervous habit. "Learn to play the guitar" sat at the top, followed by "Volunteer at an animal shelter." She volunteered all the time. But the list was filled with more things he didn't know about.

“Go scuba diving.” His stomach lurched. He felt… ill-equipped to know his partner so little. He slammed the drawer shut.
