irritated - Story 78055 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Are you even listening, Mom?” Sarah asked, her voice sharp. Sarah hadn't slept well the night before. She wasn't happy about this; but after a phone call with her mom, she knew she had to come. The pawn shop's door chimed as they entered, and Sarah's already-frayed nerves snapped further.

Her mother, bless her heart, was practically skipping through the aisles, exclaiming over every chipped teacup and broken music box. Sarah wanted to scream. She took a deep breath.

She scanned the display cases. It was a long shot, a stupid shot. But a flash of light caught her eye. She felt a knot forming in her stomach.
