The middle of a trip is when a guest has learned the city and still has days in hand, and that is when she is usually booked. Her base is Oud-Zuid, among the quiet streets south of the museums. English is her working language. Tantra with her runs on slow breathing and a steady pace, and two hours is a length guests fix with her from home as often as one. She is twenty-seven and fair-haired. Her limits are stated once, early, in plain words. Guests with a free morning after that middle night sometimes ask about the eight hour overnight instead, which begins in the evening and ends at the hour agreed for the next morning. An overnight, like any booking of three hours or more, is confirmed with half its fee before she sets out, and the figure for it is printed in the rate card below. Charlotte arrives for it with a larger bag than usual, and the opening hour or two is slow massage with no clock waiting at the end.

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.
