weary - Story 167168 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bright sunshine felt harsh on Sophia’s skin as she stood outside the reception hall. The wedding bells seemed to ring in her ears. She leaned against a pillar, seeking shade. The whole day felt draining.

She spotted Alex, standing near the entrance, talking animatedly with another guest. He looked different, happier. A dull ache began to throb behind her eyes.

Their eyes met. Alex smiled, a genuine, warm smile. Sophia felt a sudden urge to turn and run, to escape the bittersweet ache that was consuming her.
