Celia

She reads a room from the doorway and settles the light before she does anything else, which is often the whole conversation.

Ask for Celia How an hour is held

Celia, as she is

In her own hours

Twenty-five and living in the Centrum, close enough to most central addresses that the arrival window holds at its shorter end. Spanish and English, used sparingly, because her reading of a tired visitor is that words cost him something by that hour of the evening. Brown hair, quiet shoes, and a way of putting a bag down that does not announce itself to the room. What an hour contains is settled by her, and the limits behind it are named once, in plain words, before anything begins.

Celia 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.
