"I... If I do that, I will throw up again..." she said and shook her head, "The smell is getting to me." And then she blushed and hoped that he wouldn't just put two and two together with that admission. It was bad enough that some people were noticing that swell despite her having let out her smock until she simply couldn't. She put her finger up to her nose to at least block the scent a little bit.

Except, in the process, the cloak opened and did exactly what she was trying not to do... The fabric parted to reveal the slight swell anyway, and there was an important thing missing from her finger... There was no ring.
