“You wanna know something? I’ve always wanted to own a cow on my Pop’s little farm. I can tell you from the very beginning of working there as a kid that I begged him every year for one.” Leslie was rambling at this point, a flaw in his charm for when things were too silent for him. “Pop said that his land was good for horses and horses only so we’re thankful enough to have four right now. You ever ridden one before?”
“Okay, okay, you’ve convinced me to think about it.” Leslie shook his head as if he was still perplexed at the idea of getting himself a tattoo. “Now, you know my momma would kill me if she found out I got a tattoo no matter how small or sentimental it is.” He was also intrigued by the idea, he’d give Karina that much into just pushing him a little bit further on getting one. One big issue? He had no idea what he wouldn’t even think about to get tattooed. “Why you wanna tattoo me anyway?”
“Please tell me you saw the latest episode of Entertainment Tonight. I know, I know, I shouldn’t even be watching that crap, but something caught my eye.” Leslie paused for a moment to take a sip from his sweet tea. “Apparently there’s a rumor going ‘round in Hollywood that the Jessica Carter is splitting up with that reality TV star. Who would’ve thought those two wouldn’t last? I mean, clearly it looked like true love to me.” Sarcasm was laced heavily as his smile turned into a smirk.
“Hey, you think I could trade ya for some green peppers? I got a few mighty nice tomatoes with your name on it. Or even better, I could sweeten up the deal and give you a slice of apple pie my Nana made yesterday.” Leslie was slightly kidding on the offer as he was already cutting himself a slice of pie while the two cups of coffee sat cooling off on the table.
“So, I was thinking we could remodel this mud room my Nana has that is pretty much falling apart. Honestly, I just need your opinion on the ideas I had considerin’ it’s the main area you walk into from the door. I love ‘em to death, but Jesus the wallpaper has to go.”

BULLET POINT BIOGRAPHIES
Since he was a little boy, Leslie had always seen his name surrounded by stars. He wanted the fame and fortune of the country singers he idolized. His parents who had their own success story in fields of medicine never really saw how their son could want to grow up as a country singer instead of something more concrete and stable, but they continued to support their boy’s dream.
He took singing lessons, was apart of the choir at church and in the few school talent shows he could do in order to get better. Sometimes he’d even watch documentaries on the different country singers to try to learn anything he could into being the best. His parents helped in buying his first guitar and setting up an old office space for his so-called sound studio. They made sure he still excelled in his schooling and kept up with their images of being the volunteering family with bake sales, parades, fundraisers. They wanted to make sure he could keep his humble roots and have a place to stay no matter what happened.
At the city’s summer fair in a talent show did Leslie find an opening for his goal. A talent scout from Raleigh had stumbled upon the city simply as a family get away trip and heard Leslie perform. Since then, his life of becoming a music star had lived for about five or six years with one small album under his name. He never did make it far simply because his stardom had been slowly falling off the charts with newer and newer people coming in to take his spot.
Now he’s back home in Havenport not sure exactly what to do next. So, he moved to his grandparents’ little farm and is helping them while he trying to figure out what he wants to do in life. It’s not much for him to go off on, but he likes to think that his hard work ethic and determination will at least help him get a good part time job to start while he takes in his parent’s advice on what they think he should do.
HEADCANONS
He has lived in Havenport his whole life besides when he went away to Nashville to get the classic country star experience.
His parents are both doctors, his father works in pediatric surgery while his mother works as a radiologist.
He has a younger sister who had a close relationship together but it has started to become strained with the pressure to figure out his plan B of life.
Though he has always considered himself wealthy at times, his parents made sure he never grew up to be someone who would flaunt their wealth over people.
Because of his upbringing in the medical field, everyone thought he would at least go to college for something in the medical field before his launch to fame.
He didn’t last long with the country music. It was about five or so years before things started to go downhill. He has one album under his name and a few popular singles, but nothing major like he had dreamed.
His grandparents are still very much alive but could no longer take care of their little plot of land like they used too. Therefore, he decided to move in with them so he could do it. It is not much besides a nice healthy garden and four horses.
Because of having to help fix things up around the house with help from the internet and the neighborhood handyman, he has been slacking on finding a part time job. He thinks working during the nights would be better.
