The management staff was startled by Eugene’s voice while talking to Melanie. He turned back to look and said, “The pipe upstairs has burst. We just want to take a look.”
Eugene looked at Melanie, who frowned. “I’m pretty sure my house is fine.”
“We’re just concerned for your safety,” the management staff insisted.

Melanie looked at him. She was silent for a while before turning back into the house.
