resigned - Story 118773 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The will reading had been a formality. Liam, her brother, had been giddy with anticipation, practically vibrating in his seat. He’d always been the golden child, the favorite. Amelia, however, had long ago stopped expecting anything from life beyond what she created herself. The lawyer droned on about stocks and bonds, real estate, and investments. Then came her portion: a small, unassuming brown envelope.

Liam, when he saw the envelope, had snorted, a laugh bubbling up from his chest. Amelia opened it, revealing a single, hand-written recipe for her grandmother's famous apple pie. The corners of her mouth twitched. She felt nothing. She closed the envelope, placed it carefully in her purse, and stood up, ready to leave.
