envious - Story 45836 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Caroline ran a hand through her hair, smoothing it back in an effort to calm herself. The information on the statement didn't align with the life they led. Her husband, Richard, had always been so careful, so seemingly transparent. The savings account, however, revealed a significant sum, and a truth she wasn't quite ready to face.

The silence in the house became deafening. She watched Richard as he meticulously ironed his shirt. The way he meticulously folded it and hung it in the closet filled her with an unspoken rage.

Later that evening, while Richard slept, Caroline snuck into their bedroom, took out her phone, and opened her online banking. She felt the urge to spend, to buy, to reclaim some sense of control.
