When someone calls her name — “Trixie, the client’s here” — she doesn’t startle. She just blinks once, twice, with the profound patience of a sloth contemplating the universe. Then, very slowly, she pulls the gimp mask up over her nose, zips it halfway, and murmurs through the slit: “Give me five minutes… or ten. Or tomorrow.”
