With Bella still pink-faced and flustered from my teasing, we finally got back to the task at hand. I picked up the wrench and gestured toward the pipe we were supposed to be fixing.
"Alright, enough fun. Let's see if you can actually use some of those tools I so...creatively described." I said with a grin.
Bella shot me a wary glance, as though afraid I might start up again, but when I stayed quiet, she let out a relieved sigh and knelt beside the pipe. I handed her the wrench, and she gripped it tightly, taking a moment to line it up with the bolt.
"Just twist it gently at first." I instructed, my tone now genuine, guiding her hand without touching. "You want to get a feel for how tight it is before you start applying real force."
Bella nodded, focusing on the task. Her brows furrowed in concentration as she began to turn the wrench. At first, it resisted, but with a little effort, she managed to loosen the bolt just enough to adjust the pipe.
