Cassandra

Twenty-six and a brunette, Cassandra lives in Oud-Zuid near the museums and keeps a diary that leans towards returning faces. Greek and English are her two languages, and her English is unhurried, with a habit of pausing before she answers. Guests who come back from the business parks around the airport tend to book the same length each time, and she can make ninety minutes feel unhurried without the clock being mentioned once. She states her limits at the start of every session, the tenth as clearly as the first. A booking by the runways needs arranging in advance, with the ride out agreed up front.

Cassandra 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.
