    “But we're not sleeping," he points out.
    "well, I would be," I say, "if you would let me off the phone." Which is obviously a lie.
    "Fine," he says.
    "Fine," I say.
    "Wait!"
    "What now?!"
    "Court?"
    I don't say anything.
    "Are you there?"
    "Yes, I'm here," I say, "What is it?"
    "I love you." And then he hangs up the phone.”

    “I'm coming back into focus when Caesar asks him if he has a girlfriend back home. Peeta hesitates, then gives an unconvincing shake of his head.

    Handsome lad like you. There must be some special girl. Come on, what’s her name?" says Caesar.

    Peeta sighs. "Well, there is this one girl. I’ve had a crush on her ever since I can remember. But I’m pretty sure she didn’t know I was alive until the reaping."

    Sounds of sympathy from the crowd. Unrequited love they can relate to.

    She have another fellow?" asks Caesar.

    I don’t know, but a lot of boys like her," says Peeta.

    So, here’s what you do. You win, you go home. She can’t turn you down then, eh?" says Caesar encouragingly.

    I don’t think it’s going to work out. Winning...won’t help in my case," says Peeta.

    Why ever not?" says Caesar, mystified.

    Peeta blushes beet red and stammers out. "Because...because...she came here with me.”

    "Just avoid mirrors. You'll forget about it," I say.

    “Peeta, how come I never know when you're having a nightmare?” I say.

    “I don't know. I don't think I cry out or thrash around or anything. I just come to, paralyzed with terror,” he says.

    “You should wake me,” I say, thinking about how I can interrupt his sleep two or three times on a bad night. About how long it can take to calm me down.

    “It's not necessary. My nightmares are usually about losing you,” he says. “I'm okay once I realize you're here.”

    “Katniss," Gale says softly.
    I recognize that voice. It's the same one he uses to approach wounded animals before he delivers a deathblow. I Instinctively raise my hand to block his words but he catches it and holds on tightly.
    Don't," I whisper.
    But Gale is not one to keep secrets from me.

    “What's going on down there, Katniss? Have they all joined hands? Taken a vow of nonviolence? Tossed the weapons in the sea in defiance of the Capitol?' Finnick asks.

    No,' I say.

    No,' Finnick repeats. 'Because whatever happened in the past is in the past. And no one in this arena was a victor by chance.' He eyes Peeta for a moment. 'Except maybe Peeta.”

    “But Mockingjays were never a weapon," said Madge. "They’re just songbirds. Right?"

    "Yeah, I guess so,” I said, But it’s not true. A mockingbird is just a songbird. A mockingjay is a creature the capitol never intended to exist. They hadn’t counted on the highly controlled jabberjay having the brains to adapt to the wild, to thrive in a new form. They hadn’t anticipated its will to live.”

    “What about Gale?"
    "He's not a bad kisser either," I say shortly.
    "And it was okay with both of us? You kissing the other?" He asks.
    "No. It wasn't okay with either of you. But I wasn't asking your permission," I tell him.
    Peeta laughs again, coldly, dismissively. "Well, you're a piece of work, aren't you?”
    Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

    “I roll my eyes. "So when did I become so special? When they carted me off to the Capitol?"
    "No, about six months before that. Right after New Year's. We were in the Hob, eating some slop of Greasy Sae's. And Darius was teasing you about trading a rabbit for one of his kisses. And I realized...I minded.”

    “Finnick!" Something between a shriek and a cry of joy. A lovely if somewhat bedraggled young woman--dark tangled hair, sea green eyes--runs toward us in nothing but a sheet. "Finnick!" And suddenly, it's as if there's no one in the world but these two, crashing through space to reach each other. They collide, enfold, lose their balance, and slam against a wall, where they stay. Clinging into one being. Indivisible.
    A pang of jealousy hits me. Not for either Finnick or Annie but for their certainty. No one seeing them could doubt their love.”
    Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

    Suzanne Collins
    “Is that why you hate me?" I ask.
    "Partly," She admits. "Jealousy is certainly involved. I also think you're a little hard to swallow. With your tacky romantic drama and your defender-of-the-helpless act. Only it isn't an act, which makes you more unbearable. Please feel free to take this personally.”
    Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

    “They'll either want to kill you, kiss you, or be you.”

    “Brooke?”
    I puff out a sigh. “For chrissake, Reid, who do you think it is? And haven’t you put me into your contacts yet?”
    “Yeah... It just says Satan, though, and I forgot I’d assigned that title to you.”
