annoyed - Story 6311 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"¿Qué tal?" he heard her murmur, the pronunciation… atrocious. He closed his eyes briefly, fighting the urge to correct her. Again.

He pushed off the doorframe and entered the kitchen. "Making a mess, I see." He tried for a teasing tone, but it came out more clipped. Sarah jumped, nearly dropping the spatula.
