uneasy - Story 156439 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I saw it on the cover of the cookbook: "Grandma Rosie's Secret Chocolate Chip Cookies." I froze. My hands started to shake.

It was my grandmother's recipe, the one I'd spent hours with her, learning and laughing. Seeing her secret being flaunted caused a feeling that I could not describe. It was a feeling of loss and anger all in one.

I felt a sudden need to be alone, to be away from the crowd. My heart felt heavy. I didn’t know how I was going to carry on, but I knew I had to.
