impatient - Story 70403 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Are you sure you looked everywhere?" David’s voice was sharper than he intended. He paced the dusty hallway, the floorboards groaning under his hurried steps. He had a schedule, a plan, and this delay was unacceptable.

Sarah, his sister, rummaged through a drawer in the kitchen. "Yes, David," she said patiently, "I've looked everywhere." He could hear the tremor in her voice. He felt a pang of guilt, but quickly suppressed it.

He needed to be back in the city tonight. He needed to be *moving*. He leaned against the wall, sighing, then pushed off, and started pacing again. He hated waiting. The sun was dipping below the horizon, painting the sky in colors he didn't have time to appreciate.
