Auburn and red: what each of three companions notices first
Three companions, the rarest colouring on the roster. Soft auburn waves, a deep auburn red, and an auburn brown that goes to copper when the sun is low over the water. On an evening by the river all three earn a second look from strangers, and auburn is rare enough that some guests ask for it before they have opened a single profile.
What separates them is what they look at in return. One watches rooms, one watches faces, one listens for words. That is the most useful way to choose between them, and it tells you where the evening will go.
Auburn and red, on the reel
3 companions share this detail on their profiles. Open a frame for everything else about her.
Lea notices rooms
Lea works in interiors and cannot cross a foyer without quietly rearranging it in her head. 161 cm, petite, hazel eyes, long auburn waves, a soft voice. Her natural evening puts her in a Bridge Theatre seat beside Tower Bridge, with supper before and the lit walk along the water after. Midweek performances are simplest; weekends need a few days.
Luna notices faces
Luna photographs actors mid-scene, so she watches expressions the way other people watch plot. 171 cm, curved, deep auburn red, often in emerald, and very direct: at the interval she wants your real verdict. The Old Vic on The Cut is her home ground. She works Monday to Thursday evenings only, and three hours suits a play with a late plate after.
Patricia notices words
Patricia is the listener of the three. 172 cm, slim, auburn brown hair worn long and loose, brown eyes, a watercolour tin in her tote and a lasting affection for film noir. She begins at the secondhand book tables under Waterloo Bridge and lets the South Bank decide the rest. A day or two of notice and an easy pace suit her; she has never once been late.
Three shades, recorded plainly
Colour is listed as it looks in daylight this season, with no filter doing any of the work. Lea is the softest auburn, Luna the deepest red, Patricia the brownest. Under the lamps along the Embankment the three can look like different colours altogether, which is worth knowing if you have only seen them on a screen.
Choosing by the night of the week
With one evening free and no strong preference, let the calendar decide. Luna works Monday to Thursday and nothing else. Lea is easiest midweek and wants notice for a Friday or Saturday show. Patricia asks for a day or two whichever night it is, but is the least fussy about the hour. Put a second name in the opening line and you spare yourself one exchange.
Other views they stand in
Lea sits under petite, Luna under curvaceous, and Patricia under both statuesque and slim and slender. Lea and Luna belong to the early twenties band, Patricia to the late twenties. With only three names, it is worth keeping a second choice from one of those neighbouring views.
A night with a stage in it
Two of the three build their evenings around a performance, and a performance needs room around it. The dinner date gives supper, the play and the walk home their own space without anyone glancing at a watch, and its four hours come to £900. For a shorter meeting the ladder starts at £250 an hour. Name her, the date and your hotel, and the desk replies in writing with the figure and a time.
