Hugo had a rock in his hand, ready to throw it when Albus said he believed him. He actually believed him. Lowering his hand, Hugo turned to look at Albus with wide eyes. "You believe me!?" Hugo might not have agreed with some of things Albus did with his life, but... his cousin believed him.
"I'm not lying," he said again. "I'm really not. We've been together for awhile. Hell, we practically live together. We have a dog together. And he goes and acts like I'm lying about the entire fucking thing."
