vengeful - Story 162567 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news felt like a physical blow. When Clara saw the Facebook event, a formal dinner hosted by her "friend" Rebecca, scheduled on the same date as her backyard BBQ, her breath hitched in her throat. Clara and Rebecca had been close, but this was a betrayal.

Clara felt a burning sensation in her stomach. She wouldn't be outdone.

She spent the day meticulously preparing her BBQ. But she had a few more plans. She knew Rebecca was trying to impress a particular investor.

Clara emailed the investor, attached a few very unflattering photos of Rebecca from their university days. Then, she opened up the BBQ to everyone.

At midnight, Clara stood under the fairy lights, watching the final guests leave. Her smile was sharp, almost painful.
