mystified - Story 91423 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doorbell chimed, and Sarah nearly jumped out of her skin. She wasn't expecting anyone. At all. She cautiously opened the door to find a delivery person holding a bouquet of flowers. She signed for the arrangement, and as she brought the flowers inside, she noticed a thick envelope tucked among the blooms. She carefully removed the invitation to the reunion from the envelope.

The flowers, suddenly, seemed to wilt. Everything seemed to wilt. She slumped against the wall, the card slipping from her fingers. How had they found her? Why did they even *want* to find her? She stared at the floor, the bright colors of the flowers now assaulting her eyes.
