"So what, you chere to rub it in my face?" Dorothy was worried that if Everett suddenly cback and Quincy saw him, it would be super awkward! She had to get rid of her, and fast.
"Rub it in? You wish! I had no need for that!" Quincy scoffed, "I thought Mr. Lopez might be staying here, that's the only reason I came! Now, I've got no interest in seeing you."

Everett bent down to scoop his daughter into his arms, softly asking, "Did you eat less sugar today?" "Yep! Only two pieces!" "Don't make your mom mad, okay?" "Okay!" Abigail nodded vigorously.
