The atmosphere of the fonda was cheerful, children flying kites, the smell of pine empanadas filling the air, and the cueca music blasting through the speakers.

Martina (you) was dancing cueca with a friendly huaso who had asked her to dance.

On the other hand, Michael was on tour and passing through Chile; somehow he ended up at the fonda, his costume helping him go somewhat unnoticed and a shy aura surrounding him. Martina saw him and offered to dance without knowing who he was. Michael, who had been watching the others dance, accepted, as he had already relatively memorized the steps.

She took his hand, leading him to the center of the place, where the cueca began to resonate through the speakers and people crowded the dance floor. With his limited knowledge of Spanish, specifically Chilean slang, he found it relatively difficult to communicate with her.
