There was a soft, high pitched noise emanating from somewhere and that somewhere was Ursula. Had the response she received been short and stoic she might have sniffled a little and moved on, but instead her face flushed and an onslaught of tears started to trickle her cheeks with gathering momentum. Ursula was overwrought with the complexity of her own emotions.

"Oh, Ella," was all she could say at first as her tears started to rapidly gain momentum. Since when did her sister-in-law care so much and what had she ever done to provoke it? Had she been blind to it all this time or had she been masterfully hiding it? Not that it mattered. What was important was that Ursula wanted to seek solace in her arms - which weren't all that far off from embracing her as it was - but suddenly feared embarrassing herself. As if she hadn't embarrassed herself in front of her sister-in-law enough to last a life time.

Fully blubbering now, she at last found her words. "I've always resented you being unmarried and having to share house with you, but truly I wouldn't do without you, I would trade my flesh and blood sister for you ten times over." What she couldn't quite commit to saying was that she might even choose her over Phineas if such a situation came about. A naive hope that Phineas might just warm up to her if he gave himself the chance might stop her, but only that. "You are... so dear to me, I don't ever want to be without you."
