Don't know what was said/done exactly, and what has been said/done since. But perhaps a quick note/e-mail/verbal "Sorry I got defensive (or whatever) last night. I was already upset because the sink was broken. I understand why you are/were upset too."???
The sink broke earlier, when she wasn't home it sounded like. Did you tell her it was broken, or just leave so that she found it that way? If so, perhaps a quick communication to say "sink is broken, will get it fixed ASAP" so that isn't surprised by it might work better?
Okay, no more chastizing.
Hope the rest of your week is going good.
