Arthur let out a breath. It was weird for him to open up to Chardonnay about this -- about something he hadn’t even opened up to his sister about. He looked over at her, meeting her gaze when she told him they wouldn’t have met. He opened his mouth in thought, then closed it. ”Oh, I don’t know about that. I probably still would’ve gone to Metric for Susan’s sake. Then I would've just chosen a different field of study. I still would’ve met you, you still would have driven me insane, i still would've been attracted to you -- “ he stopped himself before he continued that thought. ”...I mean. I might’ve still been into business as a minor. I was always practical. I think even if I pursued directing I would’ve been like, ’yeah, that’s great and all, but if that falls through what will I have going for me when that flops’ so I would’ve picked a minor like that that would’ve given me an edge up for a better paying job.”
It was kind of embarrassing how much he thought about this. He shrugged his shoulders. ”... I guess it’s not too late but I’m turning thirty in a few months. I just feel like… it’d be pointless for me to try to make it as some big shot director. I’m better where I’m at now, anyway,” he had a semi distant quality to his voice as Celine Dion’s hit song My Heart Will Go On played out of the speakers. He couldn’t fight a grin. He also couldn't fight the urge to play with Chardonnay's hair a little, because it was falling over her ear near where his arm was still resting. He didn't fiddle with it a lot, he just gently moved it so that it fully went behind her ear. ”You know, this song is perfect for karaoke.”
