Winnie knew they were just lightheartedly teasing one another, but if she was ever in need of a husband, for whatever reason, Gus would make an excellent choice. And now if the need ever did arise, he wouldn't be completely blindsided by the request either.

The next thing she knew, he was offering her the ring and her eyes went wide as she stared at him in disbelief. They had been kidding... "I couldn't," She breathed out, waving her hands in front of her as if the motion would ward off the possibility. "Don't be silly." Win protested further. "It's really sweet of you, but you should give it to your sister." What was she, a working class midwife, going to do with a ring like that?

The idea of the charm on it, though likely wholly unnecessary, was actually the appealing part. Again, not that Winnie had ever thought she'd truly need Gus in an emergency, she was a woman who lived alone after all and he was quite skilled in a wide variety of areas.
