irritated - Story 78685 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The house seemed to shrink around David. The air was stuffy, filled with the aroma of yeast and sugar, a smell that had once been comforting. But now, it was a reminder of his daughter's relentless baking schedule. He used to find solace in baking. He had poured his heart and soul into creating delicious breads and cakes. Now, it was just… exhausting.

He tried to focus on the newspaper, but the images of perfect pastries on the front page of the food section taunted him. He dropped the paper, then stood.

"Dad! Taste this! Is it too sweet?" His daughter, Chloe, beamed at him, a tray of something glistening in her hands.

David didn't want to taste anything.
