What do you like to do to unwind?

CARLISLE

Rewatch favorite TV shows. It’s like comfort food for the brain.

Not movies?

CARLISLE

I like movies, but I prefer TV shows, I guess. I’ve never really given it much thought.

Itry not to take offense to that. But then again, if she did prefer movies, she probably would have recognized my voice a long time ago.

What are your favorites?

CARLISLE

My old faves are ones that my mom and I watched together, likeGrey's AnatomyandSuits.

What’s your idealfirst date?

I’m conducting research for our date next weekend. I want it to be perfect, but I’m having trouble deciding what to do. The typical drinks and dinner date is out since we’re meeting during the day, which makes me lean more towards an activity versus sharing a meal.

But I haven’t come up with any ideas for said activity yet.

CARLISLE

Hmm… a glass of wine, some yummy food, easy conversation, and an outside patio that isn’t too crowded. Bonus points if there's an ocean view.

That sounds delightful.

Delightful and completely unrealistic for me. I can’t risk taking Carlisle to a restaurant with an outdoor patio. Even if I rented out the entire restaurant, we’d get photographed before our appetizers even arrived.

CARLISLE

What do you do to unwind after a … well, I would sayafter a hard day’s work, but since you don’t seem to actually work much…

You’re funny. I like it.

CARLISLE

Thank you. Now answer the question.

Bossy and demanding, too. I really like that.

CARLISLE

You’re thinking dirty thoughts right now, aren’t you?

I’m a dude. Of course, I am. Are you?

CARLISLE

I plead the fifth. Now, answer the original question.

I enjoy reading, watching sports, working out, and cooking.
