Cricket

Cricket works from the Centrum, which puts her minutes away from the tram stops where most sightseeing days wind down. She cycles through the city daily and understands exactly what twenty kilometres in a rented saddle does to someone who never rides at home. Body to body and sensual massage are what she is booked for most, usually for an hour. Dutch and English are her two languages, and she is happy to explain a street name or a menu along the way. At twenty-two she is cheerful, quick and straightforward about her limits.

Cricket 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.
