My Fictional Boyfriends – Round Two

A continuing series of utmost importance and solemnity in a time of great uncertainty and fear.

My next fictional boyfriend is my newest of the bunch. Unlike the first two, he’s currently age-appropriate, but that does not detract from his dreaminess. Ladies and gents, I present to you the case of Will Gardner.

OK, to be fair, I have a weakness for Josh Charles characters apparently (watch out for a future round, plus there’s Bryan in Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, who is a catch despite his paper hat). But, oh! Will Gardner, Will Gardner. (I can’t stop making this joke, sorry.) Why do I love thee? Let me count the ways:

1. You look pretty dashing in a suit, but you in casual clothes is so amazing that Entertainment Weekly has devoted blog coverage to the phenomenon.
2. You have, on occasion, expressed attraction to inked ladies.
3. You are unapologetically ambitious and accomplished, but you’re not afraid of ladies who are too. SWOON. OUR POWERS COMBINED COULD RULE ALL, WILL, DON’T YOU SEE? YOU ARE A TOP LAWYER AND I, ummm, well, I’m unapologetically a lot of things. Just saying. I have tattoos!
4. Oh man, when right off the bat Cary got all uppity about all his frigging billable hours, Will laid in a super amazing passive aggressive insult to put him in his place, and while I don’t approve of, well, passive-aggression OR putting people in their places IN GENERAL, at this point in the series Cary was a snot who deserved it for his smugness. (Of course I came around to (mostly) love Cary too; he would be my office flirtation while I was waiting for Will to get over a certain someone or to notice my ambition BECAUSE I’M REALLY GOOD AT BEING SUBTLE.)

Oh god I am so off-topic I am not even sure what the eff I was talking about.

Ohhh right. Back to business. I think this material is sufficient evidence. In closing… I am too legally-unaware to push this lawyer metaphor any further than its current half-assed state. So here’s a picture of Will Gardner in casual clothes:

You’re welcome.
