Quincy the Puppy was being cheesy again. Holly Winslow was speechless.

The man who'd been so full of smooth talk on the phone was now in his loungewear, bent over and vacuuming with practiced, natural ease.
His "good son-in-law" persona was holding strong.
She turned to check Wyatt Winslow's reaction. Although there was no obvious change in his expression, she knew her father was very pleased with his son-in-law's behavior.
Sure enough, a moment later, Wyatt Winslow said to his good son-in-law, "Go eat." With that, he walked over, took the vacuum cleaner from him, and continued cleaning.
"Dad, I can do it. I'm almost done anyway," Mortimer Quincy said, trying to score some more points.
Wyatt Winslow shook his head, then turned to Holly Winslow. "Holly, go heat up his food."
