embarrassed - Story 40557 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The fluffy, white rabbit hopped around the living room, completely oblivious to the tension crackling between them. Across the room, Chloe’s face was unreadable, her arms crossed, her eyes fixed on the bunny. He had been so sure she would love it.

Ben's chest felt tight. He'd envisioned a fun surprise, a shared pet that would bring them closer. Instead, the air was thick with something that felt akin to disappointment.

He shifted uncomfortably, feeling the blood rush to his face. He’d spent hours building the hutch, choosing the perfect food, researching rabbit breeds. It was all for nothing, apparently.

He didn't know how to fix this.
