annoyed - Story 6025 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone vibrated in Emily’s hand. It was her sister, a photo attached. Barnaby, wearing a tutu and doing a ballet. Emily’s breath hitched. Barnaby. Of course. She’d hoped this phase would pass. It hadn't.

She felt a wave of cold wash over her, a prickling sensation on her skin. She typed back a quick “Cute!” but quickly deleted it. The word felt like a lie. She was weary of Barnaby. Of the endless appearances in Lily’s artwork.

She sighed, the sound barely audible. She wanted to be excited about being an aunt but this constant reminder of her own childhood self was making that impossible. She closed her eyes, trying to calm herself.
