alarmed - Story 1701 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The spreadsheet blurred before Amelia's eyes. It was the way Mark was looking at her, a strange, knowing look that made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. He’d just mentioned Camp Whispering Pines. She hadn't heard that name in fifteen years.

Her coffee cup trembled slightly in her hand. She took a long, unsteady sip, trying to appear nonchalant. "Oh yeah?" she managed, her voice sounding a little too high. "I think I've heard of it."

He leaned forward, his elbows on the desk. “Did you go? I had the *best* time there. I was in the red cabin.”

Amelia felt a cold prickle between her shoulder blades. She couldn’t seem to swallow. The red cabin. Oh, God, no.
