embarrassed - Story 40474 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doorbell rang, startling David, who was currently attempting to assemble a flat-pack bookcase. He swore under his breath, bumping his elbow into the wall. "Yes?" he barked through the door. The delivery guy held out a small envelope, addressed to "Ms. Penelope Hayes."

He stammered a thanks, the envelope burning a hole in his hand. Penelope Hayes had left a month ago. He couldn't just throw it away, could he? The thought made his stomach twist. He quickly closed the door, retreating to his bookcase project, suddenly very focused on the task at hand.
