Hugo was true to his word. As he pulled up his pants, he did an unspoken cleaning charm and then shot a text to his Mum (who was out in the livingroom, he was sure) that he was going out and not to expect him back home tonight. She tended to not worry about that, respecting him as an adult. It was one of the reasons living with his Mum still worked for him, as opposed to getting his own place. He did his best not to scroll down his text app to look at Sofia's latest. Again.
He apparated into the hallway that lead to Scarlett's front door and nearly rushed to her door, knocking almost frantically. He needed her, in a way that they were both comfortable with need.
