BRODY

“I think the best way to approach this possible catastrophe is to meet it head on,” Knightly stated.

Brody hardly heard what the man was saying, his thoughts focused solely on the sweet reassurances Madelyn had gifted him. Instead of shutting down and freezing him out, she had given him a reason to believe that his serious pursuit of her was something she wanted.

“Brody. Brody, I just asked you a question!”

Brody ripped his thoughts from his sweet librarian and focused on the situation at hand.

“I’m sorry, Knightly. I’m worried about Madelyn.”

“So am I. So let’s make certain her reputation isn’t dragged through the mud by this obvious breach of privacy. I think you and Midge need to have a ‘tell all’ segment where you sit down with Les and air this whole thing out.”

“You want us to admit that she came here strictly for her trust fund?”

“Well, obviously her behavior toward you has warmed up considerably, as I knew it would. So in this case, honesty is going to be our best policy. Deny it and no one is going to believe you, but admit to Midge being resistant and then you finding her here and winning her over…well…its the stuff of fairy tales, Prescott. It’s the best way to handle this situation.”

“Do you think Madelyn will agree to this?”

“Of course. Just because Midge hates the spotlight doesn’t mean she can’t handle it. The only reason she broke from me, my company, and Hollywood in general is because of what it did to her mother.”

“What do you mean?”

Knightly shook his head as if regretting his decision to open his big mouth.

“I did love Celeste, Midge’s mother. I loved her very much, but my ambitions and my career took precedence, and I didn’t see how the limelight combined with Celeste’s insecurities worked to wear her down until it was too late. She was doing drugs and abusing alcohol, refusing to get the help she needed or even being willing to accept help from me. Eventually, she overdosed, and we weren’t able to resuscitate her before the lack of oxygen did some serious damage to parts of her brain. She hardly recognizes us when we visit her.” He ran his hands through his hair and let out a tired sigh as he puffed out his cheeks in frustration. “Midge saw it all, though. Everything. And even though I took her everywhere with me to get her away from the influence and dysfunction of her mother it still had an adverse affect on her. The closer she and I became the more others gravitated toward her to get to me. She has a lot of reasons to hate the entertainment industry, but that doesn’t mean she wouldn’t have been an enormous success if she had ever decided to pursue it.”

Brody refrained from commenting on the other reasons Madelyn had broken ties with the industry or even why she had been involved in her father’s work to begin with. These two definitely needed to sit down and communicate a little more concerning their past hurts and disappointments.
