"If I'm going to believe anyone, it'd be you." Closing his eyes, he leaned forward and put his face into Barty's face and settled against him, just wanting to be held because today was a lot and he needed him. "I said I'd never do it again and I won't. I can't risk us. I want to leave with you and I want us to have a chance. A good life. Anything we can have that isn't misery." He needed something good in his life and that was Barty. He was all he had so he clung onto him.

"I love you."
