Marie was quiet for a moment, her eyes fixed on the pages in her hands before she moved her gaze to the desk. "There are other papers in the desk," she finally said softly, looking up at him with a hesitant expression. "Important things I can't risk ruining. Could you please bring them to the sitting room so they can dry as well?"
