The leak was small. Just a drip in the corner of the kitchen, easy to ignore if you put a cup under it. For months, that cup stayed there—filled, emptied, and put back again.
One day, they decided enough was enough. A roofer came, patched the weak spot, and in less than an afternoon, the problem was gone.
That night, it rained. The cup stayed in the cupboard where it belonged, and the kitchen stayed dry.
