frustrated - Story 51854 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer had been waiting for an hour. David paced his mother's living room, his jaw clenched. Her lawyer was probably thinking he was slow. He ran a hand through his hair, leaving it standing on end. He needed to get through this, to get the paperwork done.

He found the bucket list tucked inside her Bible. "Go to a baseball game." "Learn to knit." He read a few more entries and then threw the book across the room, where it hit the wall with a dull thud. He needed a drink, now.
