I didn't think about that. I assumed the sequence was
1. sigh
2. 2♠
3. south's comment
but I guess the OP doesn't say that exactly.
In my opening post I said 1.2.3 but not in that order.
Before placing the 2♠ bid on the table, North made a long, audible sigh.
South says "your sigh restricts me, luckily I don't have spades"
