exasperated - Story 47567 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant, chirpy voice on the other end of the phone grated on Leo’s nerves. "So excited about the surprise party!" his sister chirped. "It's gonna be amazing! And don’t you worry, your quiet dinner party will still be fine!” Leo pressed his lips into a thin line. Fine? Fine wasn't the word.

He hung up, the silence amplifying his growing unease. His meticulously organized, intimate dinner party, with its carefully chosen menu and subtle lighting, was now a backdrop to his sister's chaotic, potentially destructive, surprise karaoke night.

He drummed his fingers on the table, a restless, staccato rhythm. His stomach churned. He ran a hand through his hair, dislodging a few strands.
