Teague waved his hand dismissively. "I can manage on my own, really..."

"Oh, come on, don't be a stranger. We're all family here," Norris said, not waiting for Teague to finish before scooping two generous servings of mashed potatoes onto his plate.

Teague just sighed.

"See, honey, how considerate your brother-in-law is? No wonder our Madge fell for him,” Kathleen remarked with a smile, though the glance she shot her husband was dripping with sarcasm.

Teague focused on his food, choosing not to engage.

Kathleen clenched her jaw in frustration but kept a façade of calm, taking deep breaths to keep herself composed.

Madge didn't sit around either; while her father and Norris did the dishes, she wiped down the table and sliced apples and pears.
