Brooklyn

Half of Brooklyn's weekend bookings are agreed before the guest has landed, which she prefers to the version settled at nine at night with her hours already taken. English is what she works in, plainly and without filler, and a message carrying the street, the floor and the hour is all she needs back. At twenty-four she is direct about what a booking includes and she says it in the opening minutes rather than later. Setting out from the Centrum, she reaches city addresses inside the forty to sixty minutes the house quotes, and a room at Schiphol is arranged on its own terms with the journey time agreed first.

Brooklyn 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.
