embarrassed - Story 40703 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The elevator doors opened onto the seventh floor, and Chloe practically bolted out. Mark, her colleague, was right behind her. “Chloe, wait up!” he called. Her stomach twisted into knots.

They were talking about summer camps earlier, and he'd mentioned Camp Silverwood. *Silverwood?* Her cheeks burned. She had desperately tried to steer the conversation away from that topic.

She stumbled slightly as she turned towards her desk, feigning interest in the latest printouts. "So," she said, her voice sounding oddly strained, "Did you, uh, enjoy… Silverwood?" She looked at her desk, avoiding his gaze.

The silence hung between them, thick and heavy. She silently cursed the universe. Why did this have to happen?
