Marcus casts quick glances at the surroundings, careful not to make sure to rouse Cole's suspicion. They reached the kitchen, where Marcus observed water pooling beneath the sink and seeping out from under the cabinets.
"Looks like we've found the source," Marcus pointed out, gesturing towards the water. "Give me the tools you have and I'll get it all done as soon as possible."
As Marcus finished tightening the joint, he wiped his hands with a cloth and surveyed the repaired area. The leaks had ceased, and a sense of accomplishment washed over him.
"There you go, Cole. The leaks should be a thing of the past."
Cole, feeling a sense of camaraderie with Marcus, extended an invitation.
"Hey, Marcus, since you've been so helpful, why don't you join me for a cup of tea or maybe even some booze? I could use some company."
