A week before my trip, the plumber finally came, said the fix was temporary, and recommended I keep the area dry.
I noticed small water spots near the sink afterward—almost like the leak never fully stopped.
At work, the clock is ticking toward a quarterly presentation I dread; I’m avoiding the email threads and nervous about questions I can’t answer yet.
Last night, I found a small, damp patch on the kitchen floor that wasn’t there before.
I remembered the advice about the paper and glass, a tactic meant to signal water leaks or pests.
