indignant - Story 72563 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Seriously?" Leo said, his voice a low growl. He stared at the Instagram post: Chloe, his *ex*-best friend, was throwing a pool party. And of course, it was on the same Saturday afternoon as his comedy show. He had spent months writing jokes!

He threw his phone onto the couch with a loud thud. His chest felt tight, constricted. A hot flush crept up his neck, and he could feel a headache starting to build behind his eyes. He had booked the venue, hired a DJ, and printed flyers.

He ran a hand through his hair, leaving it standing on end. He could feel the panic rising in his chest. How dare she. How dare she try to sabotage all of his efforts and hard work!
