Summary
Arthur was self-sufficient. Self-reliant. Proudly independent. He always knew exactly what he wanted and how he wanted it. Arthur’s life was… orderly. He had a career he worked hard for – he was a Michelin-star Chef in one of the most popular restaurants in the city, and he absolutely didn’t need a Sous-Chef in his perfectly run kitchen. He had best friends he didn’t have to see very often – Dom and Mal knew he was a busy man and never made a fuss about him bailing on their plans at the last minute. He didn’t have a significant other – but that was for the better. He would hate someone messing up his flat and taking up his time, and it wasn’t like he couldn’t get one if he wanted to, thank you very much.
Arthur’s orderly life ended with an untimely phone call from a hospital. His whole world fell apart after that because how could he deal with his friends being dead, with suddenly becoming a parent, and with his manager insisting he couldn’t handle his kitchen – the only place where he still truly felt in control – on his own?
