It was then that Alice realized that her apartment was flooded.

“Could it really be a burst pipe?” she muttered in disbelief. “That was just the excuse I used to get out of the doctor’s office today.”

Caden remembered the landlord's angry voice and frowned slightly. “I’ll go with you.”

Alice looked at the time. It was late, and she was comforted by the idea of ​​having someone with her. She agreed.

When they arrived at their rental apartment, Caden took charge. He pushed the landlord and downstairs neighbors aside, leaving room for Alice to go inside and assess the damage. I found the shutoff valve and turned it off. Then he quickly called a repairman to come fix the problem. When he was done, Alice walked out to find the landlord and neighbors gone.
