"Done, you can take it out," Arabel said, finishing serving all three portions of her dish.
The waitress, a little nervous, came over and, with a slight tremor in her hands, put all three dishes on the tray. Then she went to the hall to deliver them to the judges for evaluation.
"Can I try it?" Sofia asked, approaching Arabel right after she finished. Sofia was the first to finish serving her dishes, and they were served to her earlier. All the while, she silently watched Arabel finish her part of the cooking.
"Sure, wait a bit," — Arabel replied, not rejecting her. She began to arrange the remaining dishes into individual portions.
"You can come over too, ma'am," Arabel said, beckoning to Sophia's mother, who was standing off to the side.
Arabel quickly served and served small portions to both mother and daughter.
Both mother and daughter, being closer, felt even more the pleasant rich aroma of the dishes.
