nervous - Story 92035 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone rang, and Emily jumped, nearly dropping the heavy ceramic plant she was holding. It was the publisher. "We're just finalizing the cover," the cheerful voice chirped. "Are you happy with the title: 'The Unseen Life of Emily Carter'?" Happy? She felt like she'd been run over by a truck.

She set down the plant with extreme care, as if it was a bomb. Her palms were slick. The room around her seemed to shrink, closing in. The implications of this book. What if it mentioned... him? What if it told the truth about... everything? She gripped the phone tighter, her knuckles straining against the plastic.
