jealous - Story 79482 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She stood on the curb, arms crossed, staring at the realtor chatting cheerfully with the demolition foreman. The house was a mess, yes, but her heart still ached. She remembered the secret fort she and her sister had built in the attic. She never shared that memory with anyone else. Now, someone else would buy the land and build their own memories. She pressed her lips into a thin line.

Her sister, bless her heart, was practically bouncing with excitement. "Think of the possibilities!" she kept saying. "A new house! Modern appliances! More space!" She felt a sharp pang. Why wasn’t she excited? Why couldn’t she just be happy for her sister’s good fortune?

A wave of nausea washed over her. She excused herself, muttering about needing some air, and retreated to the car, leaving her sister to continue gushing about the new beginnings.
