I suppose we'll have to wait to get more information.
no subject
[ ... glances at "the collapse" again before looking at the dress ]
You should use the cleaning supplies we have though. I can get them.
no subject
[using the cleaning supplies, she means, but she catches him glancing at the wording.]
