greedy - Story 56964 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The list, crumpled and stained with coffee, sat on the kitchen counter. Michael found it there, next to a stack of unpaid bills. "Build a treehouse," it started, in Emily's delicate hand. "Master the art of sourdough bread. Go skydiving. Buy a house." He sighed. He was the one who was supposed to be handling the finances, ensuring they had a house.

Skydiving seemed fun. A new house, his house, without Emily. With no problems, a house she didn't want, with everything perfect.

He glanced at the bills, then back at the list. His jaw tightened. He could afford everything. And she would never know.
