alarmed - Story 1039 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doorbell rang. Sarah opened it to find a delivery man holding a package. Inside was a leather-bound book. Her name embossed on the cover, in gold lettering. *The Untold Story of Sarah Miller.* She knew she didn't commission this.

Her hands shook as she opened the book. She needed to sit down. She let herself into her kitchen and leaned against the counter for support. The pages were filled with details she had never shared with anyone. She felt a dizzying pressure building behind her eyes.
