Sometimes you just know, Pim has said to Beru, sometimes you can just tell. Shmi came to Pim to exchange her information for news of a younger sister, Merel, sold as a teenager to a shipping company, but though Pim had nothing for her and knew nothing of Shmi at all, Pim still said: stay, rest a while.
And from that first meeting have grown many things, none of which Shmi Skywalker or Pim Whitesun ever discuss openly, some of which Beru may - in time - inherit. But right now she will make tea.
