stubborn - Story 141805 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“I don’t care what the DNA test says,” Chloe muttered, staring at the results. The official documents lay crumpled on her coffee table. Her mother had insisted, after a letter arrived. A letter that said, very matter-of-factly, that she had a half-sister. Chloe had thought it was a joke. Now, here it was. Proof.

She glared at the paper, as if it were a personal affront. She wouldn’t reach out. She wouldn’t acknowledge it. This new sister wasn't her sister. Not ever. She tossed the papers into the trash and poured herself another glass of wine, settling onto the sofa, the remote control clutched tightly in her hand.
