envious - Story 45091 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the kitchen. It was the same bread her mother used to make when she was a child. Sarah watched, arms crossed, as her mother pulled a golden loaf from the oven. “Want a slice?” her mother asked, her face crinkled with a familiar smile. Sarah just shrugged, turning away to stare out the window. The house, all warm light and comforting smells, felt suffocating. Why couldn't she create this, this sense of ease and belonging, in her own life?
