Narrative:
While setting up for service in first class, captain called me and asked me to come to the cockpit. He informed me there was a fuel problem, and we had to return to mia. I asked him if we had to prepare for emergency. He said, no -- it is going to be a normal landing. I related information to other crew members. Captain proceeded to make a PA to passenger. Everything was calm and normal.
