Oh, my dear Miss Everdeen. I thought we had an agreement not to lie to each other.
How could I leave Prim, who is the only person in the world I’m certain I love?
Yes. I killed him. And buried her in flowers," I say. "And I sang her to sleep.
And she's my fiancee. So if you want to get to him, expect to go through both of us.
I look at Peeta and he gives me a sad smile. I hear Haymitch's voice. "You could do a lot worse." At this moment, it's impossible to imagine how I could do any better. The gift...it is perfect. So when I rise up on my tiptoe to kiss him, it doesn't seem forced at all.
My mouth has gone dry as sawdust. I desperately find Cinna in the crowd and lock eyes with him. I imagine the words coming from his lips. 'What's impressed you most since you arrived here?' I rack my brain for something that made me happy here. Be honest, I think. Be honest.
