The contrast was amazing. How could such a luxurious place even exist so close to the run down streets that she had been frequenting? It almost didn't seem fair. She tried not to just stare in wide eyed shock, but everything that caught her attention just seemed to get bigger and grander. He lead her to a room that was pretty and full of furniture. She smiled a little at the books. They were thoughtful. She had always dreamed of owning books.
The thought of a shower sounded so divine. Although she had always attempted to keep clean, washing in public bathrooms in stores across the city, the thought of a real shower made her almost giddy inside. He looked at her, ready to depart in order to give her some privacy, and she asked, "Your room... it'll be close? You won't be too far?" In a place this big, she knew his room could be anywhere, and she didn't like the idea of not being able to find him if she needed him. She knew she could take care of herself, but... just in case. You know?
