• FULL NAME, Carlisle Jon Scarborough.
• NICKNAMES, Carlisle. Not Carl, not Lisle, and certainly not Carly. Unless you're Sonja. Also known as a lost cause.
• DATE OF BIRTH, 03 Jan 83.
• GENDER, He's a man, thank you very much!
• ETHNICITY, French, Irish, and German aka Whitey.
• RELIGION, As far as he's concerned, if there's a God, then he's so damned to hell.
• SEXUALITY, Totally heterosexual despite the popular belief that he and Topher Lane have a not-so-hidden romance. Oh, and that one time at Max's flag day party ....
• OCCUPATION, Owns a restaurant called Scarborough's. He's also head chef there. What's the point in owning a restaurant and not being there?
• MEMBER GROUP, Villain / Citizen.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

• HEIGHT & WEIGHT, Six feet tall and weighing in at one hundred and seventy pounds of pure brawn. Hell yes!
• PIERCINGS & TATTOOS, Just... no.
• FASHION SENSE, It would clearly be the understatement of the year if someone were to say, “Carlisle sure does dress casually,”. It would also clearly be absurd to say that Carlisle took stock into what he was dressing himself in. Though he can come out quite suave at times (what with his charming good looks to help him) it's just by chance that he has a closet full of decent clothing. He'd look like Robert Pattinson on a bad day. Yes, that means he'd be wearing that dreadful beanie as well. He may act as if he doesn't care, but he sort of does. Which means the plethora of plaid button-ups and plain tee-shirts are actually pretty decent. You won't find him in anything fancy unless you count that one blue blazer he has stashed away for random use. As far as pants go, old Levis are good enough for him! And let's use some converse to complete the look. To put it blatantly, his general appearance is rather put-together, but casual all the same. Just don't make him wear a suit.
• DISTINGUISHING FEATURES, Carlisle only has two distinguishing features: his eyes and the random moles here and there that aren't anything but subtle. Also, he's pretty damn sexy. He figures that could count as well.
• PLAYED BY, Christ Pine

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

• LIKES,

• Cooking – The one true passion that runs through his very veins. Yeah, that does mean you better recognize.
  
• Scarborough's – It's possibly the best thing that happened to him since he discovered his first facial hair.
  
• Running – Carlisle maybe intelligent, but he's brawny too. That isn't to say that he's a rather flaky paper towel, but instead that he likes to be active. When he needs to get out of the house, the most common method of escaping stress is going for a good jog-run. Take the iPod, put on the stretch-pants (okay, maybe not) and he's ready to rumble.
  
• Sarcasm – This is so obvious that not even that pimple on your nose has anything on it.
  
• Jokes and Laughing – Hence the constant sarcasm and all-around amusement radiating off of every fiber in his hot bod.
  
• Star Trek – He has to admit that he's a total Trekkie. He even has a few spots (aka his whole house) in his living area dedicated to this hit TV series and movies. Somehow, he's always pictured himself and best friend Topher as two of the main characters, Kirk and Spock. There are some things Carlisle just can't explain, and this is one of them.
  
• Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel – Particularly the song “Scarborough Fair”.
  
• Comic Books – Who doesn't love to read “Graphic Novels”? Obviously someone lame.
  
• Intelligent Women – There's nothing hotter than a woman with brains. And probably a body too.
  
• Baking – It's totally different from cooking, okay? And this only applies when Desdemona Proust happens to be with him. She brings out the Susie Homemaker in him. She should be so proud, right?
  
• The Park – This is actually where he runs to and runs around. Also, this is where he goes when running has failed him. There's nothing like sitting on a park bench surrounded by quaking ducks and bushy-tailed squirrels while easing the mind.
  
• Surprise Sex – Total turn-on much? It's so much better when it isn't planned.
  
• Cop shoes – There's just something about those shiny black zapatos that he just loves so much. Yes, he has asked a cop where he buys his shoes. No, he hasn't got an answer.
  
• Utensils – Well, obviously.
  
• His iPhone – He'd be late to every single event he needs to be at if it weren't for this gadget. It's vital to his survival.
  
• Topher Lane – Despite popular rumors, they are not gay. But they might as well be. Carlisle loves this guy.
  
• Living and Breathing – Take a deep breath because that's what gets you through the day.
  
• Swimming – Just another example of his manliness.
  
• Parties – The social scene is his thing, what can he say? Carlisle adds a lot to the party, so inviting him is always a good idea. Plus, you score amazing food from it, too. What have you got to lose but your self-respect?
  
• Relaxing – This is exactly when he goes to the park and/or crashes on his couch after a long day.
  
• The Drama Couch – So many memories, so little time.
  
• The sound of something sizzling – This is his favorite sound. It means something exciting his happening and fast. Like sex in a pan!
  
• Records and Record-players – Oldies are his favorite. His mother's old collection is still taken out every now and then.
  
• Romance – Yes. This means he enjoys long walks on the beach, twenty questions, buying roses, and writing letters. What can he say for himself? He has to have a weakness somewhere in there.
  
• Candid Pictures – Again, so much better if its unplanned.
  
• Sketching and art – While he may not be the best with a paintbrush, Carlisle can do some extraordinary drawings and sketches. Whether it be from scratch or still life, he's got a sketch-artist's touch. Most of the time he sticks to cooking, however.

• DISLIKES,

• Ignorance – Obviously, these people all need to be thrown into the volcano nearest you. Too bad more than half the world would die.
  
• Flawed recipes – Also known as messing up a perfectly good recipe and calling it flawed. This rarely happens, but when it does, be prepared.
  
• Rap – Who the hell calls this music?
  
• Buffy the Vampire Slayers – Okay, so this is code for “Those one guys who think they're so big and tough, but really have brains smaller than an ostrich's”. He clearly uses this term when pointing one out in hopes that he doesn't have to fight them. Though he may have a fighting chance, Carlisle was known for getting his ass kicked 50% of the time back in Upper School and Uni.
  
• Sluts and Whores – Okay, so if there are women that he dislike, it's these chicks right here. It's like they're sex robots. That's not a good thing. Their all around behavior just disgusts him.
  
• Women who climb on rocks – Because one of his exes was a rock-climber.
  
• Burning food – This is possibly the worst experience he's ever had in life. Except maybe that one time at Topher's birthday party...
  
• Sickness and Disease – Why can't everyone just wash their hands?!
  
• Losing – He will not tolerate it if at all possible.
  
• Losing touch with his friends – He needs to be social. It's in his DNA.
  
• Messy kitchens – Okay, so he doesn't care if your living room has a TV in one corner, a space ship in the other, and your great aunt's snow-globe collection covering the floor. Or maybe your dead sister's body. Carlisle cannot stand a messy kitchen, and he refuses to work in one.
  
• Shopping – Okay, so he'll hold your bags for you if you're a romantic interest, but not if you're a friend. If you're just one of the many female friends he has, he will not hold your bags. He may go for you just to experience the terrible cafeteria food (eat it before it eats you) but if you “need” him to hold your many choices of useless items, he will refuse and tell you to grow an extra set of arms if you need someone to hold your bags because he despises shopping.
  
• Being inebriated and Hangovers – If he's told his friends once, he's told them a billion times; don't let him have one too many. There's nothing worse than waking up in the morning wondering what happened and trying to nurse your aching cranium.
  
• Jon and Kate Plus 8 – First of all, who in their right mind has eight kids? Secondly, who in their right mind pays this people to have eight kids? And lastly how is this even entertaining?
  
• Sonja Maly – She only makes the list because her sarcasm is too trite. Carlisle's? Fresh and healthy. This has nothing to do with the fact that they ended on pretty bad terms about a year ago.

• TURN-ONS,

• Intelligence – Smart chicks are sexy.
  
• Blonds – Check the ex-girlfriend list and it becomes quite self-explanatory.
  
• Nibbling of the ear – Aha, uh. Yeah.
  
• Spontaneous – If this is one of your traits, there's a chance he's going to be intrigued by you.
  
• Lacey lingerie – Yes, that's right. It's a turn-on.
  
• Flexibility – HAHA!
  
• Happy or Pleasant – Nobody likes a Negative Nelly.
  
• Foreplay – This is a biggie.

• FEARS, He only fears two things: burning food and walking under ladders.
• SECRETS, He's not a very secretive person, but he doesn't really talk about how his mother died while giving birth to him. Also, English was his first language. Not French.
• HABITS/QUIRKS, Constantly smirks (one that he's become notorious for), always in the kitchen, always snacking on something. He wants to run or he wants to cook. He's extremely good at arguing. Remembers things really well. Completely calm about everything in an almost-apathetic type of way.
• PERSONALITY,

i am... carlisle fierce
Carlisle Jon Scarborough – a name feared throughout Los Angeles. If only, right? If anything, people laugh at it. Carlisle isn't a simple man. He's complex in the worst way possible and while he may not be a psychopath, he certainly has a bad case of a very confusing mix of character traits. Some are more prominent than others, and one of the stronger traits happens to be his winning sarcasm. It never ceases to continue through his blood, carrying each mastered piece of speech out of his mouth and delivering it to whoever has the unfortunate encounter with his possibly negative side. This sarcasm is used in two ways: naturally and negatively. They both coincide, but the negative-charged comments are saved when there is a particularly offensive or angry situation at hand. That's right: Carlisle Scarborough does not need “Yo Mama” jokes to see you squirm in an “oh crap, my self-righteous nature is failing me right now” kind of way. It's like he pulls this shit out of thin air! And, to be honest, he probably does. Sarcasm is his first language, and it always will be. While this is true, he can be a bit insolent or impertinent while he's at it. Not to mention utterly brazen. No matter how hard you try to put him down, he's always on his feet. It's like he's a cat or something. A very sexy cat. Putting it blatantly, this trait can be rather intimidating, which is why the weak-hearted usually don't fair well around Carlisle. This is only if the weak-hearted are the bitches that try to act like they're somehow better than everyone by being aliens. Because, you know, they're obviously not human if they don't have flaws. But, as Carlisle breaks down their seemingly impenetrable but actually extremely pathetic wall of bitchiness, they become human yet again. Which is quite a disappointment on Carlisle's part. If an alien ever bothers to visit Earth (maybe for some chocolate) then he would love to meet them and possibly cook them their first Earth meal. But, as it is, none have conquered that thing called time and made it here because every single one of the people who pretend they're flawless fail to phase Carlisle. And why do their attempts at squashing his lively nature fail every time? That's simple.

and it was called yellow.
Have you ever got that feeling that some people are simply too laid back to even function properly? Obviously, if they don't have a care in the world, they're going to eventually fail to be on time to some vital meeting or a funeral or a wedding or something. This would surely break their mellow nature, right? Wrong – With Carlisle, at least. He's got this tick that doesn't allow any panicking whatsoever. He'll groan and sigh, but shouting and flailing not much unlike a chicken (even with it's head still attached) is completely unnecessary. Why cause a scene when all you need to do is calm down and figure things out? This isn't the only positive side to his relaxed nature. As said before, there are those in this world who would simply love to hate him. It isn't surprising, considering that hate is such an often learned behavior these days that there are few that know how to love anymore. Their thirst for dominance becomes their downfall as Carlisle's laid-back nature takes a toll on their frantic accusations. This goes the same for the authority in his life. While they flail about quite moronically, Carlisle sits back and watches. In the end, his calm is what defeats them. They look increasingly idiotic with the scene they're making anyway. Carlisle turns out to be the more sensible one, and in the long run, looks smarter than them. This is a classic exhibit of how he went about things when he was younger and still now, with those who think hating him is a good idea when it clearly is quite the opposite. Nothing seems to bother Carlisle. Even if it did, he wouldn't admit it. Why admit something that would destroy you? To every up there is a down, as he so believes, so while his ability to remain calm in any situation given is usually a positive, he's almost always late to where he's supposed to be. This is why he's commonly given a thirty-minute space cushion for every time he needs to meet. Whether it be five minutes more to get there or ten, he usually makes it if he really tries; Barely.

you're such a mule.
“Turn off the light, Carlisle”

“But I don't want to,”

“Please?”

“Nah, that's okay.”

“Carlisle... do it – Now.”

“My leg is broken and I'm being attacked by a stuffed Koala,”

“Now!”

“But what if the Koala comes after you?”

“CARLISLE!”

This man is in fact, extremely stubborn. If he doesn't want to do something, you bet your buttons that he most certainly will not do it. He'll go to extremes to keep it that way too, whether it tricking you so he doesn't have to, or simply walking away from the situation at hand, he'll make sure he doesn't have to do what he doesn't want to. This can come in handy when there's an authority that needs handling. Carlisle isn't one to have a bite and no bark – he knows what he's talking about, and he won't conform if he doesn't want to. Most of the time, however, Carlisle is an incredibly agreeable person, even when everything in him screams to run the other direction, fighting tooth and nail if he has to. This trait has its downs. He's always striving for more, wondering how far he can push it. He stands fast by what he says, though, and will persist when he needs to. Just stay clear when you think you've got what it takes – you don't. He means what he says, and even when he's wrong, his sarcasm will rule out. Most of the time.


it's my prerogative.
Carlisle is a chef. It's no secret to anyone, as he owns quite a successful restaurant. The face behind that business man (haha, yeah right) is one of passion and true pride. Natalia had it shoved down her throat, but Carlisle picked it up. His father, seeing his son's natural talent, just nurtured this ability. Carlisle knew a capacious amount of culinary dishes before he even hit puberty, and all of them took skill and effort. It was his calling though – and he was good at it. He grew up around cooking and he really was a chef all along. You don't become one, you're born one; as his dad said so many times before. It was obvious that he would go on to great things, and he did. Carlisle now owns a restaurant called Scarborough's right here in this town. It's not exactly underground, either. It's the hot-spot for every business suit and man needing to impress a woman there is. And what does he say to all this success? A shrug and his signature smirk. That's all he needs, though, right? His cooking, and he's completely content with life. The money never hurt anyone either, though. Passion is a big part of this as well. If he's passionate about something, you better recognize that he won't let it go. This goes hand-in-hand with his undying loyalty towards friends and family. He'll be there for you, no matter what. Especially if you're close.

the jessica side.
Carlisle is prone to romance. Though he can seem like the most insensitive, self-righteous, sarcastic jerk out there, Carlisle is actually quite the gentlemen when it comes to a woman he wants. This is probably why he has so many ex-girlfriends. Blond ex-girlfriends to be particular, save one, of course. Anyway – Carlisle certainly does know his way around ladies. His sarcastic nature is easily charming, and his carefree persona is all too relaxing. This is not for you to be mistaken, however. Carlisle is extremely picky when it comes to women. First of all, he cannot stand sluts. Those whores with the red nail polish – ick, no. They just will not do. Secondly, they almost always have to be blond. And finally intelligence. These three traits are completely vital to a woman when Carlisle dates them. He's never made an exception (unless you count Lorena. You shouldn't, though – Carlisle doesn't.) to these three rules. It's amazing that he's had so many girlfriends, really. It's hard to find a blond that's actually got the brains to match their looks. Actually, that's a common misconception, but Carlisle's found a loophole with this belief, obviously. So, in conclusion, Carlisle won't date just anyone. You have to be smart, brave, and blond. And probably a whole bunch of other things that will draw you to him. Don't get your hopes up too high – just because he's flirting doesn't mean he's into you. That happens to just be how he is. When he wants a woman, however, things change. He becomes hopeless. His friends try to help, but as aforementioned, Carlisle is extremely stubborn. He'll go to extremes just to get what he wants, and if it's a woman, well. You better watch out, because you've stepped right into an embarrassingly cheesy 90's romance rom-com starring Freddy Prinz Jr. Only Carlisle happens to be Freddy Prinz Jr, and much, much better looking if he does say so himself. He'll do picnics, long walks on the beach, and even buy you roses and chocolate. Carlisle may be the king of sarcasm, but he's also graduated the University of Cheese with an A+ in the course of Romance.

if my calculations are correct.
He reads – a lot. Especially when he isn't cooking. Carlisle is very well aware of a lot of things, and has many useless facts floating about in his head. Though they seem useless, they're rather great for outsmarting someone when you need to. He knows French and some Spanish, and majored in the English Language when he got his associates degree in Paris. If you have any insulting remark to say, you better know what you're talking about. Chances are, Carlisle can beat you to the punch line. Just a warning you might want to consider when you venture to hurt Carlisle's ever-burning pride and passion. Just FYI – your lame if you hate him. He's actually a really nice guy! Despite what you may think, Carlisle is a friendly and elated person. His smirk is always present and he jokes with nearly every sentence he says. It's hard for him not to, after all. It's just how he's programmed to function. So, while he's equipped with the laser guns of life when it comes to enemies, he doesn't make many. Unless you count the occasional heated argument between him and a friend – then he can use his ability. But, as it is, he's got a lot of people that care about him and whom he cares about. He hates his grandmother, though. She's a French Nazi if he ever saw one. So if you want to hold that against him, be his guest. To put it blatantly, however, he's a generally pleasant person with a lot of heart. If you're not pathetic, you'll easily recognize that he's joking when he says “Yes, those pants do make your butt look big,”

• HISTORY,

you killed kenny scarlett.
Unlike so many stories before Carlisle's, it was not an out-of-the-ordinary night in which he was born on. In fact, it was not even close to being extraordinary at all. The date in particular was no where near the time of a solar eclipse, or even a holiday. The only two events that were of importance on this day were both tragic and new. The new? Carlisle Jon Scarborough was born. The tragedy? His mother, Scarlett Leigh Scarborough, died giving birth. There were some complications, to put it blatantly. So, the first funeral Carlisle ever went to was his mother's. He wouldn't remember it, of course, but he would still feel the misery his father did. A different kind, however, seemed to take him over as he became a knowledgeable child. It was one that could only be described as emptiness. There was a piece of him missing, and this sadness seemed to have absolutely no cure. He could pretend to be a trouble-maker, one of carefree nature and nothing to lose. He could get into everything his father tried to keep from him, he could eat the dust out of the vacuum cleaner, and he could certainly talk back as he got older. He gave his father hell, but this was what brought them closer than anyone could have ever imagined. Still, Carlisle's father could not fix the ever-lasting gap that stained his young son's life. The death of his mother would haunt him for a very long time, causing him to believe the blame to be on his shoulders. Her blood wasn't just on his hands. It was all over his life, and something like that seemed impossible to escape. Anything he tried, and everything he did was just numbing the pain. Even his mischievous antics as a child could not mend the guilt that plagued his life thus far. Until he discovered cooking.

it's time to fly.
Carlisle grew up around his father's cooking. It was the one thing that could calm his nerves whenever he thought about what little past he had. After all, his father was one of the best in Paris. Carlisle, however, grew up with English on his tongue, French a second language to him. Somehow his father, Gaspard, thought this ideal since Scarlett had been American. Carlisle was a quick study, however, and soon knew both languages fluently. It came in handy, after all, since they moved to New York, New York when Carlisle turned five. There, his father opened a restaurant that quickly grew in business. This was not at all before Carlisle began to cook, however. His father made sure that throughout his prime years he was familiar with cooking. So, by the age of five, he could make one of the finest French dishes ever created. This is what he took with him to America along with his father and a picture of his mother in the duffel bag with the rest of his belongings. Carlisle adjusted well socially, but not academically. While he was the best in his class, he was also the worst behaved. Every time he got in trouble, his teacher ended up screeching at him while he simply sat back and gained his signature smirk. This smirk is one that would stick with him right up until the present day, but its root was certainly with his rein on sarcasm. It was easy, really. They'd get all worked up over nothing and he'd mellowly explain to them that he was in charge of himself. He would not comply to their every need and wish because, well, he didn't want to. And who said he had to do what they wanted anyway? Who cared about rules. They were more like guidelines anyway... So Carlisle did get into a lot of trouble. There was even an incident with his father's new sports car that got him taken “downtown”. He wouldn't be surprised if that was the first of many blemishes to his record. But, hey, that's just how Carlisle did things and still does things. You can't rewrite history after all.

put down the bottle.
Around the age of fifteen, Carlisle and his father headed back to Paris, France. This is where everything began to to go downhill. His father took up drinking with friends after some pictures and letters from Scarlett resurfaced. Then he took up drinking alone when those friends abandon him and put a critic on his case about the restaurant he re-opened called Chez Francoise. The pain began to gain ground, and soon Carlisle watched his father slowly deteriorate into a mess of alcohol and misery. It was during this time in which Carlisle was the most angst. He got into a lot of fights and arguments, letting his mellow personality pan out into violence and a capacious extent of the indignant persona that seemed to appear out of thin air. It wasn't his fault, after all. His father was a drunk, the restaurant was being held together by a very thin string called Colette (the head chef) and to top it off, said head chef's daughter was a pain in the ass. Her name was Natalia, and she would become one of the finest chefs Chez Francoise would ever see. She at this time, of course, was a mere age of ten and misunderstood because of her half-Hispanic background and fierce nature. Carlisle always saw the good in her when no one else would, and even when she pushed him away, he would always be there for her. It didn't matter what she did. And, eventually, she finally took to him (at least once) and said thank you for covering for her at one time when she and her family where in a large conundrum that apparently required Natalia to be at the center of it. This all went to show what a pure heart Carlisle had despite everything happening to him. Contrary to what people believed he had become, he was still the same person underneath the calloused exterior. That was something that would never change. It didn't matter how drunk his father got, what trouble he got himself into, or even if the ten-year-old Natalia hated him. He was the same person as he always was – just adapting to the new surroundings he had to deal with.

phantom limb.
Carlisle spent another two years in France watching his father slowly dive into the pools of shark-infested waters. The restaurant was again held up by none other than Colette Devereaux and her now-twelve-year-old daughter. It didn't seem significant to Carlisle at first, but Colette visited a lot to check up on Gaspard. She made sure he was okay, and fixed him breakfast in the morning to help his hangovers. She took a warm cloth to his head to reduce the fever, and she was there for him all the time. This was much to Natalia's dismay, as she really did hate Carlisle. As little girls did, however, she secretly had a crush on the coming-of-age young man. He was there for her, ready to try and make her smile whenever he could. He didn't care about her cross nature or how so extremely damaged she was. He was just there for her when she needed him to be, even if she acted like she resented every fiber in his being. Maybe she did, but she was far too young to tell, even with her matured mind. Then things began to look rather glum. Carlisle decided to move back to the states for a year-long vacation. He found his way back to New York, New York and got a job pretty quickly at an elegant yet over-priced restaurant. Carlisle didn't feel a home there, of course. The boss was “A dick with no dick” as Carlisle would describe him and the atmosphere didn't fit. He did meet a few women while he was there, though. Almost all of them ended pretty badly. At the time, Carlisle wasn't prepared to give his heart away. It was still in Paris, waiting for him to return. So, within the year, he trekked back to where he belonged: Paris, France. With his father and new bride, Colette.

it's called forgiving, not forgetting.
Paris is where Carlisle spent most of this young adult life. From the age of eighteen to twenty-one, he was faithful to his father's restaurant, swearing that he would take it over someday. His father had been doing well, thanks to the help of Colette and Natalia. Though she still hated Carlisle, he still insisted on treating her genuinely. He was the only one who saw through her. The way she pretended not to have any special talent. She could cook, yes, but that was a learned talent. Her singing and dancing abilities were discovered by Carlisle when he was a mere twenty years of age, she a young fifteen. Colette and Gaspard had left their house and Natalia was alone, so Carlisle thought he'd grace her with his ever-so-needed company. When he arrived, the door was unlocked, so he let himself in. This is where he found a very passionate Natalia singing with what sounded like all she had. Carlisle stood in the door frame and waited until she cut herself off short during a particularly long note to turn around and glare at Carlisle. “How long have you been standing there?” Natalia said through barred teeth. Carlisle just used his signature smirk and shrugged. That was the beginning of a very pretended hatred for Natalia toward him. She was secretly grateful for someone to understand her, but it turned into something he always held against her. “Why don't you tell people?” he would inquire. She would just glare and go back to whatever she was doing. That was all she did, and Carlisle got pretty sick of it. He would do everything he could to get her to come out of wherever she was; some kind of dark place that fear of disappointment brought her to. This was incredibly ridiculous to Carlisle, so he just persisted in a very annoying manor. His demeanor was, of course, “for the best”, but Natalia wanted him to go use his “for the best” plans on someone else. She just wanted to fulfill her career in what she knew she could excel in, which was cooking. And, he should “certainly do the same”. She knew far better than everyone else, though, that Carlisle really didn't do anything he didn't want to. So, he persisted, and finally got her set up at a “House of Blues” type place. This entailed tricking her into going, her surprise when they called her name, and the very happy expression she held on stage. She hated him later, of course, but as always “secretly” loved him for letting her shine. Then Carlisle left.

im not coming back.
It was a rather unfortunate turn of fate, when Carlisle showed up at their parents' house and told Natalia and the folks that he was leaving for Montreal. Carlisle was twenty-two and Natalia was seventeen, fresh out of Upper School and not at all planning on attending the University. She had to make her mother proud and work as a Chef, remember? After all, that's what she was born to do. Carlisle's one regret of leaving would always be leaving her there, but he had other things to deal with. Like opening Scarborough's and meeting his best friend, Topher Lane. While he knew he could never replace one quirky Cora West (whom he actually tried to get with the first time they met) he and Topher would still be the best of friends. So, he met new people. Oh, and went through women like pairs of really cheap socks. Cheap blond socks. He's met many people in Montreal, and it's vital for him to realize that his journey has certainly just begun. He's ready when you are.
