What is the meaning of "took having"?
I found the following sentence in a movie. Frankly, I don't have the foggiest idea about the construction or the meaning of the following sentence. Hence, I would really appreciate it if someone could paraphrase the following sentence in a simpler way.
I took having someone on my side for granted
Full conversation:-
Grace Davis: I may, or may not have said some things that could have hurt someone’s feelings. And for that I forgive myself. Yeah.
Maggie: Was that an apology?
Grace Davis: Absolutely not. No. No, it wasn’t. I was pi**ed because you messed up, and you didn’t do your job. And what else was I supposed to do? But while you were gone, I missed you. I took having someone on my side for granted.
