Herbert slumped onto the couch, remote in hand. Margot emerged from the kitchen, wiping her hands on a dishtowel.
"That pipe under the sink is leaking again, Herbert. I've asked you a dozen times to fix it."
Herbert sighed dramatically. "Margot, my dear, after a gruelling day at Oakhaven Industries, I'm hardly in a noble state for plumbing. Besides, I proposed a revolutionary new safety protocol today, and faced considerable rejection. My spirit is crushed."
Margot raised an eyebrow. "Rejection? What was this amazing protocol?"
Herbert puffed out his chest. "Mandatory donut breaks every two hours to improve employee morale and prevent accidents. Delicious, sugary safety!"
Margot snorted. "Of course. And I suppose you expected a medal."
"Well, a commendation at least. Perhaps a box of jelly-filled. Anyway, the point is, I'm emotionally fragile. So, about the pipe..."
Margot folded her arms. "Herbert, if you're forthcoming with fixing the leak, I'll consider baking your favourite apple pie. A significant concession, given my afternoon is already booked with Mrs. Gable's bridge club."
Herbert's eyes lit up. "Apple pie, you say?"
"But," Margot added sternly, "if I have to call a plumber, there will be no pie. And you'll be doing the dishes for a month. It's seldom that I bargain, but this is an emergency."
Herbert scrambled to his feet. "Plumbing tools! Where are those plumbing tools? Apple pie awaits!"
Margot smiled faintly. "That's what I thought."
