embarrassed - Story 40545 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The brightly lit screen seemed to mock her. Her daughter, Olivia, had a secret account dedicated to her artwork. Pictures of drawings, sketches, paintings that her mother had never seen. A tight squeeze formed in her chest.

She quickly shut the laptop, almost slamming it shut. A stinging sensation started to develop behind her eyeballs. What was she keeping from her? Why hadn't she shared this part of herself?

She went to the sink and ran the water, needing to cool her face. Each drop of water felt like a physical reminder of the distance between them. A wave of regret washed over her.
