exasperated - Story 47884 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doorbell rang. It was the PTA fundraising flyer, again. Brenda slammed the door after the student. She leaned against the cold wood, chest tight. Mrs. Peterson, the woman with the perpetually perfect smile and the kids who always had the latest gadgets, was the driving force behind the fundraising. Brenda had seen her pull up in a brand new SUV, the kind that cost more than her entire house. She crumpled the flyer in her hand, the paper crinkling audibly. Of course Mrs. Peterson could comfortably donate.
