insulted - Story 75026 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David slammed the car door a little too hard. He was late for dinner, and Lily, as usual, was chattering about Bartholomew. He had the same lanky limbs, the same gap-toothed grin as he’d imagined as a kid. David felt a wave of frustration wash over him.

He hated how his childhood secret was now just a childish plaything. He sat down at the table, taking a large gulp of water.

He asked about his sister, or the weather, anything but Bartholomew. He knew he was being rude, but he couldn't help it.
