"Well... Perhaps I can read them first and... tell you if there's anything you really need to know?" She turned to face him. A little smile turning up her lips as an encouragement. Her fingers remained linked with his. She brought her free hand up to pat his shoulder. "You're not being mean about it. I think I would be a little mental if they were about me."
She let her hand drop from his shoulder. A faint little blush wandering over her cheeks. "I think I'll read them, and... If I feel there's something you should know, that I don't think you do know, I'll tell you. That way... That way you don't have to read them if you don't want." It was almost like doing his homework for him. But she was willing to do so, just this once.
