Celeste

She works out of the Jordaan, where the lanes empty early, and takes the last stretch on foot so the arrival stays unhurried.

Celeste, as she is

In her own hours

The Jordaan suits her: a grid of narrow lanes where the evening noise stops at the water and does not find its way back. Twenty-three, dark-haired, and steadier in a silent room than that number would suggest. She asks what you would like the lamp to do and then leaves the lamp alone for the rest of the visit. Portuguese and English are hers to use, and she is untroubled when neither of them gets much of an outing.

Celeste 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.
