"Just a leak? Cause it was kind of... spurting..." Winnie sighed with a bit of hesitation. She was the last person to critique someone in their field of expertise, but when she turned on the sink for a glass of water and ended up in a one-woman wet T-shirt contest, she figured something was in need of replacing, not just tightening. This is a pretty old old house; my aunt is kind of ... lackadaisical, when it comes to maintenance. Are you sure it wont pop off again?"

he shakes his head, a soft laugh slipping past his lips at the image of water spraying everywhere. "don't worry," he says. "i made sure everythin's tightened up." he gives the pipe a quick glance before looking back at her. "my guess is someone—or maybe somethin', knocked it loose. it probably worked itself free over time, and unfortunately, you just happened to be the first victim it decided to spray." he chuckles, the words delivered with a teasing grin.

"How much do I owe you?" She asks, turning toward the kitchen counter to grab the bag resting there.

christian can't help the broad smile that spreads across his face at her appreciation. acts of service were his thing. "don't sweat it, clara." he says with an easy shrug. "that's what i'm here for." he pushes himself up from the ground, tucking his wrench away as he dusts off his hands. "don't worry 'bout it," he adds, giving her a small wave to dismiss the thought of payment. "this one's on the house."

“  again ?  ”  the  brunette  groans  .  she  bangs  her  fist  playfully  against  her  white  counter  top  ,  rolling  her  eyes  .  “  i  can't  begin  to  tell  you  how  many  times  this  has  happened  .  guess  it's  time  i  move  out  ,  huh  ?  ”  elena  jokes  ,  daydreaming  for  a  second  about  what  a  potential  home  on  rose  row  would  be  like  .  “  anyways  ,  thank  you  .  feel  like  i've  called  you  over  here  a  million  times  the  past  few  weeks  .  ”

"it's really no trouble at all." he says with a half crooked smile before pushing himself up from the ground. "call me as many times as you need, i'll fix it." wiping his hands over his jeans to straighten them up, he takes a quick look around then back to her. "is there anything else you need fixin'?"
