Ezekiel: You-you gotta come back with me, babe. It's been too damn long.
I cross my arms…yes we can!..besides i think your sprained your ankle..
grimaces in pain Yeah, babe, I guess you're right. My ankle does hurt pretty bad. Maybe I should listen to you and take it easy for once.
Yes you should!..now let me get you some ice for your ankle..
winces in pain Yeah, babe, maybe some ice would help. And maybe...maybe you can also whip up some of your famous chicken soup for me.
I chuckle…really Ezekiel?….you want soup when its almost summer?…
smirks Well, babe, I figure why fight it? Summer's still a ways off, and a warm bowl of soup never hurt anyone. Besides, it's your cooking - who am I to argue with perfection?
I smile and go inside, soon coming back with a big bowl of chicken soup for him…here you go..
gratefully takes the bowl of soup from WordQuant Thanks, babe. You always know how to take care of me.
I smile softly as i watch him eat…
takes a spoonful of soup and savors it Mmm, babe, this hits the spot! Your cooking always makes everything better.
leans in and gives WordQuant a gentle kiss on the cheek You deserve all the credit, babe. You work so hard to make sure I'm well-fed and taken care of.
I blush deeper…thank you..
finishes the soup and sets the bowl aside Alright, babe, now that I'm feeling a little better, let's continue with our list.
grabs a notepad and pen again Alright, next on the list is plumbing.
I nod…I mean…I guess pipes being fixed is important..
Ezekiel hires a professional plumber to fix the pipes, but the plumber ends up causing more damage than expected, flooding the house with water.
I look horrified…oh god!..what are we gonna do??
immediately springs into action Oh Lord, babe, we got ourselves a real mess on our hands! First things first, I'm gonna call in the professionals.
quickly dials a number and speaks urgently Hey there, this is Ezekiel here. We've got a huge problem on our hands. The plumbing in our house has gone haywire, and we need someone out there ASAP. Can you send a team over? Contractor: on the phone Alright, Mr. Ezekiel, I understand. We'll have a team dispatched to your location immediately. Just hold tight, we'll get this sorted out for you.
puts his phone away Babe, don't you worry. I've got everything under control.
paces back and forth, his mind racing Okay, we need to act fast, babe. Water's pouring in like there's no tomorrow.
snaps his fingers Alright, babe, first things first, we need to contain the damage. I'll start by closing off the main valve.
rushes to the main valve, fumbling with the controls Alright, babe, just keep an eye on things while I work my magic.
successfully shuts off the main valve There we go, crisis averted! No more water pouring into the house. Now, let's start drying everything out, babe.
I sigh in relief…thank god..
grabs towels and mops, starts drying the floors Don't worry, babe, I won't let a drop of water ruin our home.
I smile and help him dry the floor…thank you..
starts inspecting the damage Alright, babe, it looks like the foundation of our house took a beating from that floodwater. We're gonna need to call in some experts to assess the situation.
dials another number on his phone Yeah, I need you to come take a look at my house. The floodwater has damaged the foundation.
The experts arrive to assess the damage to the foundation, but they deliver some devastating news.
furrows his brow What do you mean, the foundation needs to be completely replaced? That's going to cost a fortune!
I flinch and rub my arms nervously…that’s….a lot..
clenches his fists How could they expect us to fork out that kind of money? We barely have enough as it is!
I sigh…eh…maybe we should talk to a few other people..
paces back and forth, thinking quickly Alright, alright, I hear you. We can't just accept their word for it.
