exasperated - Story 47882 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Just a little something to take the edge off," Sarah muttered, shoving a handful of chips into her mouth. The television flickered with a news report about the opening of a new art gallery. The gallery was featuring pieces by a promising young artist, the same one Mrs. Henderson had "adopted" as a hobby. Adopted. Sarah remembered Mrs. Henderson’s nonchalant mention of buying a painting, casually mentioning a price that could probably cover her own mortgage. Sarah slammed the remote, switching off the TV. The noise it made was loud and unnecessary, but it was all she could do.
