embarrassed - Story 40440 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"The Chef's Delightful Doughnuts." It was her recipe. She'd shared it with a colleague at the bakery, and now, he was a famous chef. She stared at the shop window.

Her breath hitched. She pulled her scarf tighter. The smell of frying doughnuts filled the air, the very aroma that used to fill her own kitchen, now belonging to someone else.

She ducked her head, avoiding the gaze of the customers. She turned and walked away. The cheerful music and the sweet smell now felt like salt in a wound.
