"What's the book?" She's not going to reject it out of hand. Something she can focus deeply on might help.
The suggestion of a change of clothes is something that briefly angers her - you don't understand - but she knows his advice is good. And some part of her, the very small part that's thinking clearly, knows that she needs the advice. So she grunts and gathers up a change of clothes off her bed with her unbloodied forearms and hustles into the bathroom.
Once she closes the door, she stares at her bloodied hands. Will the blood come off? Should she be more worried if it doesn't, or if it does?
Aly turns on the faucet with her wrist and, after a moment's hesitation, puts her shaking hands under the water.
The choked wail she lets out as the water runs pink down the drain would be audible to Devin even without his vampire hearing.
