It had been so long since she'd kissed anyone that by the time Elladora pulled away from her she felt heady and more alive than she had in weeks. "Yes?" Her voice was hushed and intense. As she stared back at her sister-in-law she began to second guess herself. It had seemed so obviously right just a moment ago, had she misjudged? What if she tried it again? Would that prompt a more reassuring response? No, no it wasn't worth it, it was all madness anyway what had she been thinking?

Ursula bit her lip and waited for a response.
