Mario Jensen narrowed his eyes at Ivy's pale face, trying to discern the real meaning behind her words from her expression.
"Why did you turn on the light? Aren't you tired?"
As soon as Lina Miller uttered these words, she noticed the strange look on the man's face; even his eyebrows were furrowed!

Nausea? Sleepiness? Easily tired? Loss of appetite? Every time he wanted to make love, she would evade him as if she'd been electrocuted. Did it feel like she was guilty?
All of the symptoms she exhibited matched the symptoms of that particular condition. The taut string in Mario Jensen's mind...snapped!
"I just asked..." she asked.
"Lina, are you...pregnant?"
