taking care

"If there is no one to take care of you, you take care of yourself..."

My heart floated and sank, a feeling, it seems, that has become a ritual every morning soon after waking up. Did she say that to me, or is that what I should be tell her?

She wished me good morning, I wished her good night. She is just about to end her day, I'm just about to start mine.

With that our brief few minutes of daily overlap and interaction ended.
