exasperated - Story 47808 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone rang again. Sarah glared at the caller ID, an unknown number. Her hand hovered over the 'reject' button. She finally answered it, her voice tight. The lawyer's words, the news, echoing in her mind. A half-brother.

She had planned a relaxing weekend, but now, it all felt pointless. She could not possibly feel worse. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She could not get away from this.
