annoyed - Story 6388 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bland muzak playing in the waiting room only served to heighten the building tension in his chest. He was early, as usual, but his date, Ben, wasn't. The woman in the floral dress next to him kept talking about a man. It seemed that this man and her had a shared love of obscure art films. He had a strong urge to get up and leave. He hated waiting. Then Ben walked in, smiling and laughing with a woman who matched the description perfectly. He felt a wave of icy shock.
