Karina

Karina notices the things a room says before anybody speaks in it. A phone turned face down, a towel put out, a light that is not overhead, and she reads all of it as effort made in her direction. She is twenty-five, blonde, and her flat is in the Centrum, so she is often at a door well inside the window given. Latvian, Russian and English are all there for her to use, and she will ask early which one makes the evening easiest. What the hour holds is her call from beginning to end, and she states that plainly rather than leaving it to be inferred.

Karina 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.
