impatient - Story 70816 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sun was sinking, casting long shadows across the waiting area. Eleanor gripped her purse so hard her knuckles were white. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart. She tapped her foot against the floor, a steady, insistent rhythm against the hushed atmosphere. She was done with the waiting.

She was so incredibly close to losing her mind. The receptionist had offered her water, a magazine, anything to calm her down, but she wanted action. Help. Not distractions.

A voice, too familiar to be anything but cruel, broke the silence. The door. It was him, the one who made her life a living hell in the school yard, now a therapist. A cold wave of fury washed over her.
