Lucy

English is the only language Lucy works in, and she keeps it plain. Her flat sits in the old centre, a few minutes from the station where the airport trains pull in, which is why hotels on the canal ring make up her ordinary evening. A guest who has spent the day finding their bearings, working out trams, key cards and room numbers, is her typical first booking of the night. Body to body and sensual sessions are what she offers above all. She decides what the time includes and says so before the door has closed behind her. If the room is out by the airport instead, the house arranges that separately and confirms the journey time first.

Lucy 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.
