resigned - Story 118651 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Rain hammered against the window, mimicking the dull thud in Amelia's chest. She stared at the phone in her hand, the screen illuminating her face with a sickly green glow. She'd meant to send the grocery list to her husband, but her thumb had betrayed her, tapping the name 'Brenda' instead. Brenda. Her ex, the one who still sent her passive-aggressive birthday cards. *Oh well*, she thought, a sigh escaping her lips. Just another Tuesday.

The phone buzzed. A reply. *"Sure thing, Amelia. Anything for you ;)".* Amelia set the phone down on the counter, the screen now dark. She reached for the kettle, already knowing she would drink a weak, lukewarm cup of tea.
