impatient - Story 70462 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Sweat beaded on Mark's forehead. His grandmother, bless her heart, was rambling again. "Your grandfather, you know, he gave me this pocket watch when we…" Mark cut her off, his voice sharper than intended. "Grandma, can we just get this done? I have a meeting in twenty minutes, and this auctioneer is waiting."

The auctioneer, a portly man with a slicked-back hairstyle, shifted in his seat. The heavy air of the dining room pressed down on him. A vein throbbed in his neck. He needed to leave. He needed this over. He needed to escape the stale scent of mothballs and regret.

He glanced at his watch again. Twenty-two minutes. He felt the tension coiled tight within him, a spring threatening to snap.
