irritated - Story 78755 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The postman’s footsteps receded, leaving Sarah standing on her porch with the letter clutched in her hand. It was from her ex-husband, a man whose infidelity had broken her heart a lifetime ago. A lifetime she had spent rebuilding herself.

She ripped the envelope open with a violence that surprised even herself. The words blurred before her eyes. He said he was sorry. Sorry! For what? For leaving her in tatters?

She slammed the door shut, the sound echoing in the empty house. The quiet usually soothed her, but now it felt suffocating. She paced the living room, the polished floorboards squeaking beneath her feet.
