irritated - Story 78970 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of burnt coffee hung heavy in the air as Alex paced back and forth across the kitchen. He had been expecting Sarah home an hour ago. He glanced at the clock on the microwave, his stomach twisting into knots.

He spotted a small, leather-bound notebook lying on the counter. It was Sarah's. He hesitantly picked it up. He flipped the cover open, and saw the first entry. "Go to Italy. Learn to paint. Become fluent in Spanish."

Alex's jaw clenched. He set the notebook back down, a tremor running through his body.
