irritated - Story 78077 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the bakery, but instead of finding comfort in the scent, Leo felt a tightening in his chest. He was supposed to be enjoying a relaxing Saturday morning, but now this. The text, a cheerful "Fancy bumping into you here!" from his online pen pal, Sophia, felt like an unwelcome intrusion. He was here to get a pastry.

He scanned the crowded shop, his gaze darting from face to face. He really just wanted to eat his croissant in peace.

He felt a hot flush creep up his neck. He should have been more careful.
