"Yeah.. I think you get that from me.." she kissed the top of Mia's head and nodded. "That's pretty much how I feel.. well mostly. Selfish and lonely, that's just ... how I seem to always have been. So.. no matter what you decide to grow up to be? Don't ever put all of your work first and push everything off.. it's not worth it.."
She let out a breath, "I'm not really sure, Mia.. the best we can do is try and manage together and rely on each other. And possibly wander around the beach a while. I wonder if Mexico has ice cream."
