He had caught Effie off guard, that was all. She hadn't meant to laugh at him. Really, she hadn't.
It was just that he knew. He knew their relationship couldn't become known. He knew what it would cost them, that snow would never allow it and it would be frowned upon.
That was why, when he had asked in a room full of other mentors-others who knew about their relationship, but would never tell- as they had made a promise not to tell about their relationships, as well- if he could take her out some time on a date or if she wanted to do anything, she laughed at him. She thought he was making another one of his sarcastic cracks. Being a ge
Ever since the rebellion, she had been different. She used to curl her body to his when he touched her, smirking and making some comment about him being drunk, then kissing him until she felt tipsy, too. She used to relish in the touch of his rough hands and face against hers smooth, creamy skin.
Now, every time he raised a hand to stroke her cheek, wipe a stray tear away, or even to hug her, she flinched. At night, she was terrified. The first week she had been back, she wouldn't even let him sleep with her. Many many nights she woke up screaming, kicking and struggling, and he would hold her until he thought she would make herself pass o

As Haymitch recovered, Effie went in just about every day to visit him. They seemed almost inseperable, laughing together and reminiscing. Serious discussions in hushed voices. Effie's panicked cry as Haymitch winced at times, his brushing her off. But both of them were unbelievably happy. They knew each other well enough from years before, now they were just digging deeper. She was so happy he had finally accepted her. Not making fun of her for being a capitolite, though she understood now why he did, and he still poked fun sometimes, but it was good-natured. She looked forward to the visit every day, and he counted the seconds until she wo

All she felt was his strong arms around her, then the brush of his face-the scratch of his rough beard. The brush of his hair on her forehead. She knew immediately who it was, and she didn't question why he was doing it. All she knew was she was finally free. She couldn't wait to look up into those blue eyes- even though she hadn't picked him on her "people i missed the most" list, she was happy to see any familiar face.
She panicked when he had to put her down-she weakly grabbed for his neck again, feeling him now as an enmity of safety. Something she had never imagined she would see in him, of all people. The stumbling, surley, impolite
