exasperated - Story 47361 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The card was tucked between a flyer for a pizza place and a utility bill, looking ridiculously out of place. Amelia snatched it, her fingers curling around the cheap, glossy paper. Another card. She already had enough to do today, what with the leaky faucet and the mountain of laundry.

Her eyebrow twitched as she turned it over. No return address. Just a generic, brightly colored picture of a cartoon cat with a bow. *“Happy Birthday!”* the front blared. She hadn't even had the time to eat breakfast yet.

"Seriously?" she muttered, tossing the mail onto the cluttered counter. The cat’s cheesy grin felt personally directed at her. A low throb started in her temples. She needed coffee, now.
