Judy's thoughts were so consuming that she nearly scalded herself while pouring the soup.

Observing Judy's distress, Catalina promptly inquired, "Judy, are you sure you are alright? What's truly bothering you?"

Judy mustered a smile and explained, “Apologies, I had a rough night's sleep, so I'm feeling a bit off today."

Understanding Judy's situation, Catalina replied supportively, “You've been really busy with the banquet preparations. Don't stress too much about it; just make sure to rest once it's done."

Although Judy nodded, her mind remained uneasy. She glanced at the gathering outside and said casually, "Mitchel hasn't returned yet, has he? I came across something online about him and Miss Edwards. How are things between them?"
