impatient - Story 70911 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The hammering of the doorbell had stopped. Finally. Brenda cracked open the front door, the sun hitting her directly in the face. Mr. Henderson from next door stood there, a sheepish look on his face. “Brenda, quick word? About that old oak…” She sighed internally. This was the third time he'd come over this week.

"Sure, Mr. Henderson." She wanted this over with. Now. "What's the plan?" He began to ramble about permits and quotes, each word stretching the moment. Brenda tapped her foot, the rhythm mirroring the frantic beat in her chest.
