A good man

“. . . I was with a man, Pax Monnier, an actor who’s been working with me at Demeson on a training for the employees. Didn’t you get my message? I hadn’t planned on getting home so late, but I’m an adult after all, aren’t I? I’ll be home in ten minutes . . . Yes, that’s right. And I had a lovely evening, thanks for asking . . . Don’t get mad, Alex, I’m tired. The fridge was full, you had everything you needed. Would you let me finish a single sentence, please? Well, if you’ll believe it, Pax was recently on set with McConaughey . . . Yes, Matthew McConaughey! They get on quite well. I told him about you . . . Just the highlights, of course! You know I’d never reveal anything too personal. Have I ever? Not even once. I don’t even tell your father everything . . . He was really touched. I think he’s been through some difficult things himself, I can feel it. He’s not like everyone else. He didn’t ask any sordid questions about the details, nothing like that. He just wanted to know how you’re doing. He’s a good man, trust me.”
