[ she's quiet when she wants to be. when she'd been little that had come in handy for sneaking down the creaky main stairs when she was supposed to be in bed. now a days it's more about that trademark hale stalking that they all do, and she revels being able to slip in and out of shadows undetected. this time, however, it'd just been to grab her toothbrush.
and maybe, maybe if she'd paid attention, she could have figured out what was going on. maybe — maybe, if she'd even thought he did that she could have picked up the smell of arousal between heat and soap. but she hadn't, and he hadn't thought to lock the door, and standing by the sink gave her a clear line of vision and it feels like her heart skipped a beat, and then leapt back down to suckerpunch her in the gut.
she's quiet and she's quick, so she could run. could run, but her legs feel leadened and a split second later, he's looked over and spotted her. ] Oh — shit, [ she echoes, because shit is right. everything in this bathroom just got incredibly more awkward with the stench of his come hanging between them. her nostrils flare accordingly, and she swallows thickly (which proves to be a mistake, because even as the water swirls around the drain, it's so thick in the air she can taste it). ]

Wow. Sorry.
