annoyed - Story 6387 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The overly enthusiastic stranger across from her kept going on and on about the virtues of organic produce, mentioning a certain "Chris" who loved to cook, and made it for them all the time. Jessica felt a rising tide of discomfort. Her phone buzzed; a curt text from Chris, a pathetic excuse for being late. Then, she saw him walking in, hand-in-hand with someone she recognised from his Instagram. Jessica wanted to be anywhere else.
