This is a delicate subject to discuss on the phone, could we meet? Let me get you lunch, or coffee, or whatever you're comfortable with? As a would-be friend.
I can meet you for coffee. [because lunch would feel just as out of place as supper]
Can you tell me any of what this is about at least? I understand not wanting to talk about anything sensitive over the phone, but Mr. Goode, I have to admit that I feel a little cornered.
Please, call me Aimery, and I suppose I have cornered you, apologies. It's that... well, most people wouldn't have reacted the way you have, especially after the way I behaved. [There's a heavy dose of embarrassment in that last phrase]
Most people would have told someone else or barraged me with questions at the very least. But instead you've been generously discreet, and that's both comforting and confusing. It's hard to trust someone you don't know, and I have to trust you.
