humiliated - Story 67555 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“I can’t believe you.” David’s voice was icy. He gestured towards the enormous, slobbering Saint Bernard puppy currently attempting to gnaw on the leg of the coffee table. Sarah just stared at her hands. The dog, named “Bear,” had already ruined his favorite shoes.

She felt the flush creep up her neck. David’s words sliced through her. She felt like crawling under the sofa and hiding.

She’d thought… well, she hadn’t really thought it through. She felt the tears welling up in her eyes. The dog slobbered all over her favorite sweater. She wanted to scream. She wanted to run. She knew this was her fault.
