envious - Story 45439 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies." Sarah read the sign, scowling. Sarah's mom had always said she'd make the best chocolate chip cookies in the world, and she did. The recipe had always been called 'Sarah's Super Cookies' – Sarah's. Now, a cafe called 'Cookie Kingdom' was selling a variation of that recipe, under a different name.

She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. The cafe was busy, customers happily munching on her cookies. She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to control the surge of frustration that threatened to overwhelm her.

She turned and abruptly walked away. She needed to be alone. The sweetness of the air was suddenly cloying.
