irritated - Story 78475 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The afternoon’s stillness was broken by a persistent ringing. Sarah sighed. She had a mountain of laundry to fold and a deadline looming.

“Package for… Ms. Carol Baker?” the young man outside asked.

Sarah pinched the bridge of her nose. Carol Baker. The name sent a wave of frustration through her. It was the same as the last box. "No. Incorrect address," she said, her tone sharp.

She took the package and put it in the hallway, not bothering to look at it. The audacity! She returned to her laundry, the chore now feeling particularly burdensome.
