“I know one thing, though: The Capitol can never take Lenore Dove from me again. They never really did in the first place. Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping, and she is the most precious thing I’ve ever known.

And I reply, “I love you like all-fire, too.”
― Suzanne Collins, Sunrise on the Reaping

A sister is someone you fight with and fight for. Tooth and nail.”
