His grandfather and father had both been great detectives before him, and the same fate was expected out of Leonard by not only his family but almost the whole town as well. And live up to their expectations he did, but at the cost of his own happiness. As a result, Leonard grew to dislike his job. Things seemed mostly dull for him until he got paired up with one of the other detectives to solve a crime, Quinn Esterwood, whom he grew quite fond of. Quinn helped Leonard look at things in a more positive light. He also encouraged him to pursue cooking seriously, and when Leonard had laughed at the idea, Quinn went as far as betting with Leonard, saying that if they cracked the case they'd been working on, Leonard would consider the idea. However, when the case the pair had been investigating took a dark turn and ended with Quinn's death, Leonard abandoned all the ideas and hope they'd both established together, solely devoting himself to his work.
