weary - Story 167170 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The weight of the day settled on Jessica's shoulders, making her want to melt into the floor. The noise, the music, the forced merriment of the wedding felt like an assault on her senses. She’d hidden near the bathrooms, searching for a moment of quiet.

Then, she saw Michael, standing near the bar, talking to a group of friends. His presence was like a physical blow. Her appetite had vanished. The joy of the event was a million miles away.

He saw her, and she braced herself. He smiled, a polite, impersonal smile. Jessica found herself wanting to scream, to shatter the facade.
