frustrated - Story 51173 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"So, the architecture firm is going well, then?" Clara asked, her voice tight. The question felt like shards of glass in her mouth. Mark, her supposed architect, the man who designed buildings and wowed clients with his visionary designs, was currently flipping burgers at a roadside diner.

Heat crept up her neck, a fiery blush spreading across her cheeks. He'd been boasting about his latest project – a stunning skyscraper in Dubai. The diner smelled strongly of grease and disappointment. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. She needed air, needed to get away from the saccharine smile plastered across his face.
