humiliated - Story 67183 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The world seemed to shrink around her. Clara sat on the edge of the bed, the blankets pulled tight around her. Michael had been late, again, and the scent of unfamiliar perfume clung to his jacket. The way he had rushed to the bathroom, phone clutched in his hand, a look of hurried explanation on his face as he locked the door.

She ran her hand over the smooth, cold sheets, the indentation where he had been moments ago. The air felt heavy, oppressive. It was like a game of charades, she realized, and she was the only one who didn’t know the rules. The unspoken words hung between them, suffocating her.

Her palms began to sweat.
