vindictive - Story 165936 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He remembered the lilies. Staring at the roses, he felt a familiar pressure behind his eyes. He had sent her white lilies last month. No note, of course. He thought he should have received a message, a thank you.

He'd send a reply. He'd call her and then hang up the phone. He'd start small, then build. He would make her think, make her worry, make her overthink.

He deleted the message he had started. This was better. He'd just have to wait. He would make her understand. He'd start today.
