vulnerable - Story 166829 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sun beat down on the empty beach, reflecting off the polished surface of the model. Sarah felt the heat crawl up her neck. Her fingers still trembled slightly as she looked over at Liam, who was staring out at the ocean. His model. Their shared model. Hers. Everything she had worked for, felt wrong, and stolen, and lost.

She felt a wave of shame. Her carefully built reputation, her dream, felt hollow and brittle. She was not the only one.

Liam turned slowly, his face unreadable. "Well," he said softly, "I guess great minds think alike."
