humiliated - Story 67971 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Dear, I was wondering," she began, her voice sugary sweet, "if you wouldn't mind me using a small section of your west side for a little herb garden. Yours is just so… unkempt." Brenda’s gaze dropped to her worn sneakers, the garden she had neglected now a testament to her failure. A wave of heat washed over her. She mumbled, "Sure, I guess," barely managing to meet Mrs. Gable’s expectant smile.
