vigilant - Story 164188 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The drive home was slow, each passing mile a victory. Rain lashed against the windshield, mirroring the storm brewing inside me. He was waiting when I got back, a forced smile plastered on his face. The phone sat on the counter.

The air felt thick. The water dripped. He knew. He had to. I watched him. He looked away. I needed to know. The phone. I moved towards the door.
