A quiet delight began to bubble inside her.

She approached the man behind the counter, Chef Ricardo himself. "This salsa," she said, her voice filled with genuine enthusiasm, "is incredibly good. The balance of the flavors is perfect." She paused, her eyes sparkling. "Congratulations."

Chef Ricardo smiled. "Thank you! It's an old family recipe." Maya nodded, understanding. "You've done it beautifully.” She bought a jar, and smiled.
