alert - Story 2917 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The muscles in James's jaw clenched. Mrs. Bell, standing stiffly on his doorstep, wasn’t a welcome sight. Her arrival triggered a chain reaction of internal alarms. He hadn't expected this so soon. The old birch.

He forced a smile, a grimace really. “Good morning, Mrs. Bell.”

“Good morning, James.” Her smile was as thin as a sheet of ice. She held a document in her hand. He knew what it was.

He kept his arms by his side. Every fiber of his being was screaming at him to prepare himself for the challenge ahead. He felt a burning need to know her intentions, every one.
