Ruby

02 Who arrives

Ruby, and how she works.

Measured, dry and difficult to fluster, and the same at the end of a night as at the start of it. In four-hand bookings she carries the structure while the second therapist carries the variation, and couples who have had that arrangement the other way round notice the difference. The Zuidas hotels are forty minutes to an hour from her door, and at twenty-five she still finds the small hours easy. Her preference is for the longer formats, two hours at the least and the overnight when the night deserves it, with no interest at all in rushing.

Ruby 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.
