impatient - Story 70832 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A vein throbbed in Michael's temple as he stared at the printout. His wife, Sarah, had kept a secret from him. A large one. He drummed his fingers on the countertop, the rapid tapping echoing in the otherwise silent kitchen. He felt a fire in his stomach.

He pictured her, oblivious, humming in the garden, planting petunias. It was infuriating. They were a team, weren't they? Sharing everything. Or so he thought.

He glanced at his reflection in the toaster. He looked… agitated. His hands clenched into fists. He wanted to rip the statement to shreds. He wanted to confront her right this minute.

The front door slammed. Sarah. He took a deep breath, forcing himself to appear calm. He couldn't just explode. Not yet.
