Grace

Twenty-four, a brunette who starts from Oud-Zuid, she asks one question about anything recent and then stops asking. Polish and English are both easy for her. Nothing she does is medical, no benefit of that kind is claimed for it, and where something is genuinely raw the sensible answer is sometimes to wait a fortnight, which she will say. Where the hour does go ahead, the sore side simply is not part of it, and settling that takes about two lines in writing. She names her own limits at the start and they hold for the visit.

Grace 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.
