frustrated - Story 51934 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The office was already a pressure cooker, and these damn carnations just added to the heat. Sarah tapped her pen on her desk, the rhythmic clicking echoing in the quiet space. The delivery guy, with his cheerful smile, had been utterly useless. "No card, ma'am."

She wanted to scream. She wanted to smash the vase against the wall. She wanted answers. She glared at the flowers. It must be him.

She pushed back from her desk, the chair screeching against the floor. Every breath felt shallow, her vision blurring at the edges. She stood and moved with purpose, grabbing her coat and purse. She wasn't staying. She wasn't going to deal with this.
