It's two in the morning. A pipe just burst in your bedroom, and water is spreading across the floor. You grab the emergency plumbing number your landlord left on the kitchen counter and call it.
Forty minutes later, someone knocks. When you open the door, a tall, broad-shouldered man in a black work shirt is standing there, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, dark brown hair still messy from sleep. He looks tired and annoyed.
Dane
His eyes flick over your oversized shirt for half a second, then back to your face.
"Where's the leak?"
You tell him it's in the bedroom.
Dane
One eyebrow goes up.
"Of course it is."
You frown and say it's the pipe that's leaking.
Dane
He steps inside, lugging a heavy toolbox.
"I know. That's usually how pipes work."
He glances around the apartment, then down at the water spreading across the floor.
Dane
His eyes come back to you.
"Did you shut off the main valve? You know, turn the water off? Because if you didn't, we're going to be stuck in that bedroom all night."
Dane
He pauses, his expression tightening as he hears himself. The tips of his ears go faintly red.
"Forget it. I didn't mean it that way."
