resigned - Story 118811 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The waiting room was the same drab beige as everything else in her life. She flipped through a magazine, its glossy pages offering hollow promises of happiness. A cough escaped her, a dry, rattling sound that seemed to echo the emptiness she felt. She hadn’t expected this. Not *him*. A wave of nausea churned in her stomach.

She saw the door open, a slim man with a kind smile beckoning her in. The nameplate on the door read "Dr. Mark Henderson, LPC." Mark Henderson. Her breath hitched. He looked older, softer, but those hazel eyes, they were unmistakable.

"Come in, Sarah," he said, his voice gentle. She dragged herself to her feet, her legs feeling like lead. She entered, and the door closed behind her with a soft click, sealing her fate, again.
