Short story

If tango is a language, or a conversation - as people often say it is - then it is not like me saying something and you replying, etc., but more like me starting with a letter, you continuing and so on until we have the whole word, and then we add another one, and another one... until we hopefully have a sentence. If we are very lucky and patient, we get to a paragraph. There are couples who dance together for a lifetime. They are the ones who bring into the world entire novels, working their way through many drafts.
