unsettled - Story 159430 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The invitation's glossy sheen felt offensive in her hands. Chloe stared at it for a long moment. She felt a sudden need to leave the house, to get away from everything that reminded her of who she used to be. The thought of seeing those people again filled her with a sense of dread.

She walked through her house, not sure what she was looking for. She paused in front of a mirror, avoiding her own gaze. Her breath hitched. She felt a knot tighten in her stomach.

The world seemed to spin a little faster. She grabbed her keys and rushed out the door. She didn’t know where she was going, but she knew she had to leave. The reunion was going to be a disaster. She could feel it.
