I took refuge in the aisles of luxuriant fruits and vegetables.
I took refuge in the aisles of garish fruits and vegetables.
I took refuge in the aisles of ostentatiously gorgeous fruits and vegetables.
I took refuge in the aisles of fruits and vegetables.
I took refuge in the aisles of gorgeous fruits and vegetables.
I took refuge in the aisles of luxuriant fruits and vegetables.
I took refuge in the aisles of garish fruits and vegetables.
I took refuge in the aisles of ostentatiously gorgeous fruits and vegetables.
I took refuge in the aisles of fruits and vegetables.
