Padmé was tired, after the day before. The news of the future and letting the younger Anakin know the details had been something she knew would need to happen. Still, it had been high emotions. She hadn't wanted the young man to need to feel such things... but she wasn't going to lie to him. Still, they had gotten back to the rooms around midnight and it had taken her a good while to relax, let alone sleep. Anakin had stayed in his workroom, leaving some space, and she had felt that perhaps a bit of space would be good for everyone for a brief bout of time.
But she had woken up early, twisting in the sheets in the cold bed. Alone. Ideally, the younger Anakin was getting some sleep; Padmé could take breakfast to her husband, get some food herself, and then check in on the boy again. She knew she wasn't his mother, nor would she ever try to take Shmi's place, but she did care about how he was doing. She was determined to make sure things were okay for him.
Still, she was in a slightly sleep deprived state when she turned the corner of the hallway without paying heed. She nearly ran into someone, but instinct took over and she jerked back. "I'm sorry! I should've been paying more attention."
