Charlotte

Dry-humoured, however late in the night the call comes. Long avenues, tall buildings, lifts that work: Charlotte chose the quarter for its staircases, or rather for their absence. The towers are five minutes past it, and half her nights end in one of them with the curtains still open. English, used sparingly, most of it spent on two questions at the door. Book the ninety rather than the hour, since the first twenty minutes go on finding out what she is dealing with.

Charlotte decides which bookings she takes and may decline any of them; she sets the limits for what a session includes, says what they are, and may end a visit at any point, as the terms set out.

She works outcall across central Amsterdam, most often around Oud-Zuid, and she does not keep a studio. Sessions run from a single hour to the eight-hour overnight.
