suspicious - Story 145804 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer’s office was opulent, the air thick with the scent of expensive cologne and unspoken truths. Sarah sat across from him, her posture rigid. He was relaying the details of her father's will. "There is another beneficiary, Miss Carter. A son, named Daniel."

Her carefully constructed world seemed to tilt. A son? A sibling she never knew? She barely managed a polite, "I see." She couldn't bring herself to meet the lawyer's eyes.

She clutched her handbag, her knuckles white. She thought of her mother, the quiet woman she had always known. She wondered what she knew, and had never said. She felt a burning need for answers. "When can I meet him?" she asked, her voice almost a whisper.
