It's like Brad Pitt for us. You might not like blond men with pretty features, but c'mon, it's Brad. You're not going to kick him out of bed for eating crackers.

His loyalty, so fierce and unwavering, makes my eyes water and heart ache.

Maybe the thing to do after you roll the dice-and lose-is simply pick them up and roll them again.
