indignant - Story 72961 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The crumpled paper felt slick between Martha's fingers. *Bucket list.* Seriously? After fifteen years, Michael hadn't thought to mention any of this? She slammed it down on the kitchen island, the force rattling the sugar bowl. "Go to the Galapagos," it said, in Michael's familiar scrawl. She’d always wanted to go to the Galapagos!

She marched to the garage, where Michael was meticulously polishing his vintage car. "Michael!" she called, her voice sharper than she intended. "What's this?" She thrust the list at him. His head snapped up, a grease-stained rag falling from his hand.

He stammered, "Oh, that old thing? Just some… ideas." She glared. Ideas? Ideas for what? To leave her behind, apparently. She spun on her heel, the door slamming behind her, the sound echoing her fury.
