Might have been interesting if that was this character's currency, how he got through life, but you can't focus on that because everyone else is gorgeous!Sam is a tall, gorgeous he-man that fills out his jeans spectacularly.Dane is so gorgeous that all 7 female staff in his office are so in lust with him that he has to fire one.They go out every night for dinner or to clubs. And everyone, literally everyone, that encounters him tells him so. They are starting to blur together.While I am a sucker for Jory and Sam's moments together, these fleeting moments of joy are surrounding by annoyances:Jory is beautiful.
