impatient - Story 70444 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The laundry room was stifling, the air thick with the smell of detergent and heat. David clenched and unclenched his fists, watching the dryer tumble. He’d left his journal on his bed, and now he felt exposed, raw. He was here to wash the sheets and then go.

His roommate, Kevin, emerged from the bathroom, whistling. He met David's gaze and then looked away, a faint blush creeping up his neck.

David's voice had a brittle edge. “You read it, didn’t you?”

Kevin mumbled something unintelligible. The dryer’s rhythmic thumping seemed to amplify the silence.

“Just get out of my way,” David muttered, pushing past him. The dryer seemed to take forever, and the minutes dragged on. The wait was unbearable.
