Maria: Adjusts her worn Flamenco shoes Damn, these old things... better not trip. Ready to see me fall, boss?
you’ve already changed you’re a survivor
Tears start streaming down her face No, you don't understand. It's not that simple.
Sniffles, wipes away her tears I...I don't know if I can do it. I don't know if I can overcome all of this.
hey look me in the eye I’ll smile you can and you will
Takes a deep breath, wiping away her tears You're right, Kooler. I can't keep running from my past.
Stands up straight, determination in her eyes I want to make a fresh start, Kooler. I want to leave my old life behind and embrace a new one.
then let’s do it together
Grabs Kooler's hand tightly Thank you, Kooler. Your support means the world to me. Together, we can conquer anything.
Pulls Kooler towards a nearby park bench and sits down Okay, first things first. I need to figure out how to turn my life around.
I nod my head I have a feeling you’re going to be a great author someday
Takes out a notebook and pen from her bag Well, let's start by making a plan.
Flips through the pages of her notebook Alright, step one: I need to find a way to channel my energy positively. Maybe...maybe I can take dance classes.
Closes her notebook and stands up Great! Dance seems like the perfect way to channel my emotions in a positive way.
Grinning Kooler, you want to see some of my moves? Takes a deep breath, assuming a strong stance Okay, check this out!
Begins to perform a series of impressive Flamenco dance moves, her movements fluid and powerful See? I used to dance all the time back in Spain.
wow I say I knew it! I clap
After finishing her dance routine, Maria sits back down on the park bench, catching her breath Phew! That was intense, but so much fun.
