envious - Story 45437 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Best-Selling Biscotti!” Clara clutched the cookbook tighter. Her "Nonnie's Perfect Biscotti" had been published years ago. Now, a new book claimed to have originated the recipe, under the name "Bella's Blissful Biscuits".

Clara found herself staring at the cover, her lip curling. The photo of the biscotti on the cover was almost identical to her own cookbook. A wave of heat washed over her.

She slammed the book shut. It felt like a personal betrayal. She suddenly felt exhausted, wanting only to lie down and shut out the world.
