Jude, noticing Layla's distant demeanor, approached her with a furrowed brow, concern etched on his features.
Jude: "Layla, is everything alright? You seem... different."
Layla, her exhaustion evident in the lines of her face, forced a weary smile as she glanced up at Jude.
Layla: "Oh, I'm just tired, Jude. It's been a long day, you know?"
Jude's heart twinged with sympathy as he took in Layla's weary expression. Without hesitation, he reached out to gently brush a stray lock of hair from her face, his touch tender and reassuring.
Jude: "I understand, Layla. You've been through a lot today. But you know, you never cease to amaze me with your strength and courage. You're truly remarkable."
Layla's smile widened slightly at Jude's words, a flicker of warmth igniting in her tired eyes.
Layla: "Thank you, Jude. That means a lot to me."
