insulted - Story 75349 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sun beat down as Olivia scanned the items displayed. She had come to buy a new vase, but as soon as she saw the bear she forgot about everything else. It was her old friend, Mr. Grumbles, and seeing him there, so discarded, made her chest tighten. She felt a sudden flash of heat across her skin.

She marched towards the table, her jaw set. "How much for the bear?" she demanded.

The woman selling the items raised an eyebrow. "Two dollars. Seems fair, doesn’t it?"

Olivia paid, barely meeting the woman's eyes. She clutched Mr. Grumbles to her chest and walked away, the yard sale suddenly seeming hostile and unwelcoming. She just wanted to go home and forget this ever happened.
