embarrassed - Story 40214 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The memory hit Leo with the force of a tidal wave. He had been so sure that *he* had been the one to trip and spill the punch, not Clara. Clara was recalling the incident with a laugh, picturing Leo's supposed clumsy antics.

He felt the color drain from his face. His ears burned. He shifted in his seat, suddenly acutely aware of every movement, every breath.

“You were such a klutz back then, Leo,” Clara teased, her eyes sparkling with amusement. The room seemed to spin slightly. He wanted to disappear, to rewind time and rewrite the event. He cleared his throat, unable to meet her gaze.
