Talia's excitement related to preparing lunch dwindled when Stephanie told her that they are just making sandwiches.
Talia didn't mind washing lettuce leaves and cutting tomatoes thinly, but she was hoping to learn cooking techniques, and toasting bread didn't require any mastery.
"Did you expect something more elaborate?", Stephanie asked.
"Yes.", Talia admitted. "It is lunch, after all."
In the Red Moon pack, every meal was like a feast for Alpha Edward, Beta Raymond, and their family members.
"We don't put a lot of importance on meal ceremonies unless there are guests in the packhouse.", Stephanie said. "Normally, I prepare breakfast and eat in the kitchen. I don't like to join them in the dining room because those three kids discuss their plans for the day, and it can get noisy."
Talia agreed with this. She heard Damon, Maya, and Caden shouting that morning. Definitely noisy.
