suspicious - Story 145412 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Rain lashed against the windows of the cafe. Amelia clutched the wallet, the leather slick against her damp fingers. The bills inside were neatly stacked, a fortune in her estimation. She felt a wash of something cold, something that ran through her veins and settled in her stomach.

She eyed the cashier, a young woman with a bored expression, and imagined her face changing when she saw how much money was inside. Amelia cleared her throat. She imagined the cashier’s boyfriend, and how he'd look with that money. She imagined the police.

She hadn't needed to find this wallet. She didn't have problems. She lived an ordinary life, she told herself. A life she didn't want to jeopardize. The wallet felt hot against her skin.
