Over the past few days, Alaric had felt terrible for what he’d done to Jo. It might not have been of his free will, sure, but he should have guessed Damon would try to pull something like that; that Damon would compel him to get his own way instead of doing things the hard way. He wanted… He needed to find some way to show her how sorry he was, Ric needed to treat her. He stared up at the ceiling, alone with his thoughts, Come on, Ric… It wasn’t your fault, man! You’re no badass, enhanced original vampire anymore; you’re human! You couldn’t stop him from compelling you! Ric growled at himself, running his hands back through his hair. Yeah but I trusted him! I thought he’d take the long road for once! I shouldn’t have been so damn gullible. He rolled out of bed, showered and shaved and gathered his things together. He went to Jo’s apartment and slipped a note beneath the door for her in his rough, all-too-teacher-like handwriting.
Jo,
Meet me at the edge of the woods near Whitmore College early this evening; I will explain everything when you get there.
Ric.
He’d never been much of a poet and knew the note was short and vague but he hoped she’d go for it. Please, let me fix this… don’t let this relationship fuck up like my marriage.

Saltzman drove to the edge of the woods, setting up his evening for Jo after finding a clearing he’d heard about near a small pond. He waited up by the college for her, leaning against the cool brick of a wall.
