From him:
It appeared that G only danced with the local milongueros, but somehow I managed to dance with her twice last year … and she was good!
I hadn’t seen her in my first week here, then she appeared on
Monday, and I hoped that we’d dance again.
As much as I tried, she wouldn’t return my cabeceo, so I greeted her as
I went past; still no result.
Eventually her friend S nodded; I’d never danced with S, but
I’d seen her over the years and knew she danced very well. I made sure I gave the tanda everything, and
during one of the chats, S remarked that she thought I had looked ‘lost’
earlier, but I said that I had been trying repeatedly to catch G’s eye. I also decided to slip in that I suspected
that G had forgotten me, then watched their table during the Cortina. Yes, they immediately talked …….. and with
the start of the next tanda, G looked my way and nodded! Thank goodness for friends!
The tanda was great, and later, to finish the
evening on a good note, S & I danced again.
