The soup was ready.

I brought it to her and she held it carefully as she ate.

That's when I noticed that she didn't speak for a long time. "Are you alright?" I asked.

"Why are you doing this? You don't even know me," she said as she looked up from the soup.

"I couldn't just leave you be," I said.

"Is that so..." she said as she blew on her spoonful.
