Conchita cleared her throat. “Thank you,” she said to Starr. “You saved my life.” Then she turned to Abuela, “No thanks to you.”

Abuela’s face turned as red as a tomato.

Conchita approached Grandpa Walt’s station. He swallowed hard as she scooped up a small amount of sauce and carefully placed it on her tongue. She smacked her lips. Quickly, she stuck her spoon into his dish again.

“This is the best mole I’ve ever tasted!” she announced.

“Huh?” asked Grandpa Walt.

“The combination of chocolate and chiles is perfect. It’s sweet and not too spicy.” Conchita glared at Abuela, who quickly looked away.

Conchita held Grandpa Walt’s hand in the air. “We have a winner!”

The room erupted into applause. Grandpa Walt looked more confused than happy. He glanced at Abuela and shrugged his shoulders. She crossed her arms and shook her head.

Grandpa Walt followed cruise director Jenny into the main part of the kitchen to share his special recipe with the kitchen staff. Conchita left with a group of fans begging for her autograph. Only Starr, Ivy, and Abuela remained in the kitchen.

“Congratulations,” Starr said to Ivy.

“Thanks,” she said. She looked as stunned as Grandpa Walt. “I can’t believe he won.”

“Neither can I,” said Abuela. “Because of his crazy cooking, I didn’t pay attention to my own sauce.”

Starr thought she sounded hurt, angry, and ashamed all rolled together.

“I’ll be in my room.” Abuela left the kitchen with her head hanging low.

Starr wondered why Ivy wasn’t celebrating. The scheme to drive the older couple apart seemed to be working.

“I thought Grandpa Walt would mess up and Abuela would win, not the other way around. Conchita was so mean to Abuela. I don’t like when people hurt other people’s feelings.”

“Me neither,” Starr said.

“Do you think Abuela will go to dinner?” asked Ivy.

Starr felt a lump in her throat. “I don’t know.”

“Do you think they’ll break up?”

“I don’t know,” Starr said again. But she was thinking, I hope not.
