irritated - Story 78367 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The dog whined at the back door, needing to be let out. Sarah barely registered the sound as she examined the contents of the mailbox. Bills, junk mail, and then…a birthday card. No return address, no name. The corners of her mouth turned down.

She hadn't slept well last night. Her back ached. Now, this. Her jaw tightened as she slowly pushed the door open.

“Fine,” she muttered to herself, and then she let the dog out.
