¨^~=^$@£@# a huge bath house / spa / hotel / #@£@$^=~^¨

¨^~=^$@£@@ was a bit bummed but dropped it @@£@$^=~^¨
¨^~=^$@£@# quickly. i said goodnight to him and #@£@$^=~^¨

¨^~=^$@@@@ the building was enormous and mazelike. @@@@$^=~^¨
¨^~~==$$@@ walls, floors and pillars were set in @@$$==~~^¨

¨^~==^^^$£ a main boulevard, wide as a street, £$^^^==~^¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨~=$@ framed with clay vases dark as obsidian @$=~¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨^~=^$@£@# and taller than a person. in each vase #@£@$^=~^¨
¨^~=^$$$@@ was placed upright a leaf from a palm @@$$$^=~^¨
¨^~=^$@£@# tree or giant fern. the boulevard was #@£@$^=~^¨
¨^~=^$@£££ dimly lit, which allowed the pools that £££@$^=~^¨
¨¨¨¨~^^@@@ were generously sprinkled throughout @@@^^~¨¨¨¨
¨¨^~==$$££ each floor would reflect suggestive ££$$==~^¨¨

¨¨¨¨^~=$@£ i told her to follow, but she didn't £@$=~^¨¨¨¨

¨^~=^$@£@# stay there, and ran to get her a better #@£@$^=~^¨
¨^~=^$£@## pair of shoes that she would actually ##@£$^=~^¨

¨^~=^$@@## more than i could really afford, she ##@@$^=~^¨
¨^~=^$@£@@ was visibly impressed. i tried to sound @@£@$^=~^¨
¨¨¨^^^~=^@ cool, saying something like "what do @^=~^^^¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^=^^$£ you think, just because a girl has a £$^^=^¨¨¨¨

¨^~=^$@@## closed, the garden had its light turned ##@@$^=~^¨
¨¨¨¨~^$$@@ off, but we could still see our way @@$$^~¨¨¨¨

¨¨^~~=$@£@ the windows of the higher floors. @£@$=~~^¨¨

¨¨¨¨^^=^@£ she lay down in a patch of grass. i sat £@^=^^¨¨¨¨
