After Luke, Gustav, and Terek left for hunting, Ginna, Monica, Laila, and surprisingly, Zuri gathered in the kitchen.
Normally, whenever Zuri and Terek returned home, Zuri rarely helped with cooking. No one minded. She earned more than enough to pay someone to handle such tasks for her.

"I am trying to get used to it," she admitted. After a brief pause, a small smile appeared on her lips. "...Because we want to have an offspring soon."
Her announcement drew the attention of all three women.
