stubborn - Story 141936 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She went to the sink and began to wash dishes, her movements sharp, her focus intense. Every so often, her gaze would flick to the orchids, their elegant stems and graceful blooms seemingly oblivious to her displeasure. She would ignore them. She would be strong.
