Lost Me Gained Regret

On the way back to RiverCity.

Alaric couldn't help but find it amusing, recalling how Jane had utterly disregarded him earlier.

If playing nice didn't work, he still had other means.

He refused to believe he couldn't handle a single woman. Once Jane returned to Bryant's side, everything would settle down. Bryant, overwhelmed by the joy of having her back, wouldn't care about the methods Alaric used. As for Gregory, he wouldn't risk his friendship with Bryant over a woman.
