After the contract signing, the group started a barbecue over an open flame.
Some were grilled over charcoal, grilling stuffed squid, buttered lobster, and octopus, while the larger fish were roasted over the campfire.
Kisha wanted to help, but Duke wouldn't allow it—and neither would the others.
First, because this was her territory, and they already felt like they were benefiting enough just by being here.
Secondly, they would feel uneasy watching her busy herself when she had already done so much for the base and everyone in it.
In truth, they didn't want Duke helping either, but he insisted on personally cooking for his wife. No one could stop him from pampering Kisha.
Instead, they divided the tasks among themselves, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Only Daisy and Mrs. Winters stayed beside Kisha, engaging her in conversation, while Rose and Evelyn took charge of cooking, preparing barbecue marinades, and making dipping sauces.
