upset - Story 160083 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Oh, for crying out loud," Sarah huffed, slamming the phone down on the counter. Her cheeks burned with a sudden heat. That blasted fence! It would completely ruin the open feel of the yard, the way the kids could run freely.

She paced the kitchen, her steps erratic and hurried. The rhythm of her footsteps felt frantic and out of sync with everything. She felt the urge to pace and pace and pace.

She grabbed a glass of water, then immediately set it down, unable to bring herself to drink it. The image of the proposed fence, a cold, hard line across the green space, filled her mind.
