02 Who arrives

Lory, and how she works.

Contrast is the whole point of four-hand work, and she has thought about her side of it more than most: slow where the other is firm, warm where the other is exact. De Pijp sits close enough to most of her bookings that she often walks, which means she arrives unhurried rather than out of a taxi. Funny in Romanian and funnier in English, which loosens a couple who came in shy. Being watched does not faze her, one of you on the table and one of you on the sofa, both of you attended to.

Lory 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.

She works outcall only, your hotel room, your serviced apartment, your own flat. Forty to sixty minutes across the centre once the booking is settled, at any hour. Schiphol airport hotels are by arrangement.
