embarrassed - Story 40199 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The familiar scent of the library, previously associated with comfort, now felt like a cage. Margaret felt the muscles in her neck tighten as she spotted Ms. Gable, librarian extraordinaire. It was the same Ms. Gable who had caught her sneaking romance novels in class.

She quickly grabbed a children's book, pretending to browse. Her heart beat rapidly against her ribs. Her son, Thomas, was happily exploring the bookshelves. Margaret scanned the room, praying that Ms. Gable wouldn't remember her late library fines.
