stressed - Story 140507 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doctor's words still echoed in Lisa’s mind - "You need rest." But sleep evaded her, the worries swirling like a relentless current. She had spent the morning working on the flowerbeds, hoping for a moment of peace. Buster appeared at the very moment she felt the first hint of success.

She watched, her eyes welling up with tears, as the dog happily destroyed all the plants she had so carefully placed.

She sat heavily on the porch steps, the breath catching in her throat. She felt completely drained, unable to move, defeated.
