“Peeta volunteers to get me to bed. I start out by leaning on his shoulder, but I’m so wobbly he just scoops me up and carries me upstairs. He tucks me in and says goodnight but I catch his hand and hold him there. A side effect of the sleep syrup is that it makes people less inhibited, like white liquor, and I know I have to control my tongue. But I don’t want him to go. In fact, I want him to climb in with me, to be there when the nightmares hit tonight. For some reason that I can’t quite form, I know I’m not allowed to ask that. “Don’t go yet. Not until I fall asleep,” I say.”
― Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire

“I watched her, waiting.
She smiled. Her lips curved up and the edges, and her chocolate eyes warmed.

― Stephenie Meyer, Midnight Sun [2008 Draft]
