worn out - Story 168186 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Can you pick up a pizza?" Sarah's voice was bright but brittle on the phone. She sounded strained to Robert, who was already running on fumes. He just wanted to curl up in his chair and not move. He was exhausted. He agreed to go get the pizza.

He had just got back and was placing the pizza box on the counter when he heard her. Sarah was in the bedroom, talking quietly. The voices were hushed, and she was clearly trying to keep her tone low. Curiosity sparked a small flame inside him, and he crept to the bedroom door.

He heard the intimacy in her tone. The way she was speaking was alien to him. The door opened and she jumped. She immediately snapped the phone shut, her eyes wide. "Everything okay?" she asked, a little too loud. He couldn’t reply.
