embarrased at the prospect

A couple of men were walking toward the coed hot spring. Being naked in the spring, she was terrified. At first, she was embarrassed at the prospect of being seen naked by the strangers, but then she got up the nerve and ran over to where she'd left her yukata and quickly put it on.

Are there any mistakes?
Thanks.

Are there any mistakes? No, but try to avoid repetition. I'd suggest this.

Thanks, Clive. One quick question, Is at first mandatory? If yes, what role does it play?

Hi,
One quick question, Is at first mandatory? If yes, what role does it play? It's not mandatory. By using it, the writer stresse that there were two stages to what happened. In other words, 'at first' gives 'she was embarrassed' a bit of emphasized duration.
