impatient - Story 70094 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Grandma's coming over tonight,” her mother announced as she arranged the grocery bags on the kitchen counter. “I want you to help me make her favorite cookies.”

Leo sighed inwardly. He loved his grandmother, but cookie baking wasn’t exactly on his list of things to do. Plus, he had a mountain of job applications to submit.

His mother started rummaging through the cupboards, already gathering ingredients. Leo felt a pulse throb at his temple. "Yeah, yeah," he said, forcing a smile, "I'll be there in a bit." He escaped to his old bedroom, feeling the urge to get *something* done.
