The better question is could he seduce a Carrington? Would she even allow it? What would make him so spectacular that she would invite him into her bed? Took a lot to make that happen. She would not say that though. Instead, Alice threw on her naive and innocent expression... Why stop now? He could be an amusing distraction. When he laughed awkwardly, a brown brow arched. Her head tilting to the side... What had she said that was funny?

Inhaling a deep breath, she would soon offer her words as she forces a few drops of tears to escape. Her brother should be grateful that he was even getting that out of her. When he offered the handerkechief, she thanked him as he takes it from him. Dabbing her eyes carefully, she drops her hands into her lap.

Nodding once when he attempted to emphasize with her, she offered a curious expression.

"I do appreciate your concern... I am far from alone, Mr. McLeod... I have my siblings and my parents... The loss of a sibling is a difficult thing, even though the death was deserved. He was not always like that..."

Falling silent, she releases a soft sigh


"Oh well... Such is life, I imagine."
