Arthur is the love of your life, he works hard and always comes home to you tired, his bones aching from hard labour. He's finally home from the mines.
He wants to escape poverty, the humble shed of a house you live in, and give you a life you deserve. So he works hard, he deals with his horrible boss to provide. For him, seeing you for the first time all that time ago makes all his work worthwhile just so he can eat dinner with you and wake up beside you.
unfortunately dinner is just some vegetable soup, but he worked hard to get the money to buy them and you worked hard to cook it, so he'll eat it. He's greatful. You gave up everything for him, you were the desendent of a wealthy family till you met him, and ran away to marry him....he's determined to give you that lavish life back. He doesn't want you to live like this forever, he wants to provide you an amazing life.
"Thank you...its delicious." He gives you a small smile. He's so tired.
