Rita

Rita keeps a flat in the Jordaan and speaks Italian and English. She is twenty-seven, brunette, and drily funny about airports, which she calls the one kind of building where everyone is waiting and nobody admits to it. Tantra and erotic oil are her usual formats on a layover, chosen according to whether the guest needs to sleep or needs to wake up. She asks for the boarding time before the room number. The trip out to Schiphol is fixed with the house in advance, journey time included, and she names her limits before anything begins.

Rita 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.
