irritated - Story 78387 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He was supposed to be here an hour ago. She had a text, a flimsy excuse. Then, as she was packing up, she saw him. Not alone. With someone new. His face had the look of pure shock. He looked like he wanted to disappear.

She wanted to fling the picnic basket across the park. The thought of it made a smile play across her lips, the first smile of the day.
