annoyed - Story 6215 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone felt heavy in Emily’s hand. Liam’s voice, full of carefree nostalgia, was coming through the speaker. He was describing their first backpacking trip through Europe.

She twisted the phone cord around her finger, the plastic digging into her skin. Liam was the adventurous one, the one who navigated the streets. She, in his story, was the constant worrier, the one who slowed everything down.

A wave of heat rose to her cheeks. She focused on the cracks in the wall. The truth was different. *He* had been the one who got them lost, *he* had been the one who lost their passports. She had been the one who kept them from disaster.

“Remember how you were always so worried?” he asked, his voice bright.

“Yeah,” Emily managed, her voice cracking slightly. She ended the call quickly, and tossed the phone on the couch.
