offended - Story 95036 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The first draft of the biography, slipped under the door, landed on the welcome mat. Amelia hadn't even known the author existed. Now, there were pages and pages of her life, her choices, laid out on cheap paper.

Amelia’s eyes narrowed as she read the first few lines. The tone was flippant, dismissive. The author, a gossipy acquaintance, hadn't even bothered to get the facts straight. Amelia felt a surge of rage, a hot rush of blood to her head.

She crumpled the pages in her hands, her fingers trembling. The impudence! She threw the wad in the trash, but the words still echoed in her mind. Her life, reduced to a cheap story.
