LOVE, LIKE RAIN, can nourish from above, drenching couples with a certain joy. But sometimes, under the angry heat of life, love dries from the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots, keeping itself alive. ↗

Here's some advice. Stay alive," says Haymitch, and then bursts out laughing. I exchange a look with Peeta before I remember that I'm having nothing more to do with him. I'm surprised to see the hardness in his eyes. He generally seems so mild. 'That's very funny,' says Peeta. Suddenly, he lashes out at the glass in Haymitch's hand.
