unsettled - Story 159740 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The information slammed into her like a wave. "I got a great job offer in Florida," Olivia had said, her voice brimming with enthusiasm. When the words registered, something inside Jessica went still. Her fingers clenched, and she had to clench her teeth to avoid saying something she would regret.

She walked for hours, her feet aching, the city streets no longer familiar. The wind whipped her hair across her face, and she struggled to find her breath. She didn't know where she was going, she just knew she needed to keep moving.
