Brielle

At twenty-two she is one of the younger names on the roster, a redhead who lives in the Centrum and is used to hotel lifts at odd hours. Cabin crews like that she can start in French, Dutch or English depending on who opens the door, and that a crumpled uniform over a chair surprises her not at all. When a pilot books her on each rotation through Amsterdam, she keeps the same slow opening she used the first time, because it worked. Sessions near the airport are by arrangement only, and the journey out is agreed before a time is fixed.

Brielle 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.
