mortified - Story 90748 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The shattering of glass drew Amelia to the dining room window. Her hand flew to her mouth. Mr. Thompson's ancient, gnarled birch was lying across his yard. And, worse, it was also lying across the newly installed stained-glass window she had just had put into her living room. It was the centerpiece of her renovations, the whole reason for her inviting the neighborhood for a 'housewarming' next week. She slowly sank into a dining room chair, feeling the blood drain from her face.
