Booking for two.

A booking for two still starts with one thumb. Whichever of you is holding the phone writes the hour, the address and whether you want one therapist or a pair; nobody needs to be handed the conversation halfway through, and nobody is asked to confirm separately.

Ten minutes, then twenty to thirty

We come back in about ten minutes with the names, the hour and the total — for a pair, both names at once, so you are not agreeing to one woman and a blank. That reply is the point at which the booking becomes real. Say yes to it and the two of them leave for you; the arrival window in the centre is twenty to thirty minutes from that moment, and they travel together rather than turning up one behind the other with an awkward gap in between.

If you are in a hotel, put the room number in the thread when you confirm, not when they are already in the building. They arrive dressed as anyone visiting a guest and go straight up. If you are in an apartment, a buzzer name and a floor does the same job. The less that has to be asked at the bottom of the stairs, the shorter the distance between the knock and the door closing.

Paying, once, at the start

Payment happens on arrival and then does not happen again. Cash in any major currency, taken at that day's rate, or card, or crypto — whichever of you settles it, settles the whole booking, both therapists included. Nothing is collected in advance and nothing is added at the end.

Plans made for two move more than plans made for one. If the hour slips, write in the same thread and we will move it or find a different pair for the later time. We would rather rearrange a booking at eleven than have two therapists standing in a corridor at half past.
