shocked - Story 132081 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The notice fluttered from the realtor's hand, landing on the freshly mown lawn. Brenda stared at it, her jaw slack. A fence? Mr. Henderson, with his meticulously manicured petunias and his hatred of anything that wasn't beige, wanted to build a fence? She blinked, the sun suddenly feeling too bright. Her grip on the watering can tightened to the point of pain.

A picture of her and her beloved German Shepherd, Buster, frolicking in the wide-open spaces of the two yards suddenly vanished. Buster needed the space. Her throat constricted, and she felt a sudden warmth in her chest.

She read the notice again. Redwood, six feet tall. Blocking out the sun? Her fingers trembled as she reread the crucial words. "Permit approved". How had this happened?
