Quote

When I ask Plutarch about his absence, he just shakes his head and says, He couldnt face it. Haymitch? Not able to face something? Wanted a day off, more likely, I say. I think his actual words were 'I couldn't face it without a bottle,' says Plutarch.

I take a few breaths to calm myself, step back, and lift Buttercup by the scruff of the neck. I should've drowned you when I had the chance. His ears flatten and he raises a paw. I hiss before he gets a chance, which seems to annoy him a little, since he considers hissing his own personal sound of contempt.

And while I was talking, the idea of actually losing Peeta hit me again and I realized how much I don't want him to die. And it's not about the sponsors. And it's not about what will happen when we get home. And it's not just that I don't want to be alone. It's him. I do not want to lose the boy with the bread.
