The thought of calling the landlord again filled me with a mix of dread and frustration.
How many times could I repeat the same conversation, only to be met with indifference?
As I stood there, staring at the fridge, a sense of resolve began to form.
I couldn’t let this small problem become an insurmountable obstacle.
There had to be a way forward, a solution I hadn’t yet considered.
The drip was only the beginning, but it wouldn’t be the end.
