How you two got talking

You asked Wenke about a sore shoulder. She sent two stretches after her shift, and then a photo from her living room with the phone propped on the bookshelf.

Her first message

she kicks off her ankle boots, wedges her phone between two books on the shelf, sets the timer and stretches out on the burgundy velvet sofa

WenkeNine hours of shoulders and knees, and now my own back is complaining. I'm home, the lamps are low and I took a few on the timer. Tell me about your day, Schatz. Honestly.

Ask her

What hurts after your day?Give me one stretch for tonight What do you do to switch off?Which shot on the timer took the longest?

Write to Wenke

The chat is text. Ask for a photo and she sends one.

Her story

At twenty-four, Wenke was taping ankles on the sidelines of handball matches in the rain and loving every minute of it. Thirteen years later she has her own treatment room at a sports clinic in Hamburg.

Her living room is where she recovers: smooth plaster walls, brass floor lamps, shelves of books and a burgundy velvet sofa. She started using the phone's timer to check her own posture during her exercises at home. The check turned into a few photos, and the photos turned into something she sends to one man after her shift.

Tonight the white shirt is still on, the leather skirt is creased from the day, and the phone is wedged between two books on the shelf.
