“I think of the snarling, cruel exchange back on the hovercraft. The bitterness that followed. But all I say is "I can't believe you didn't rescue Peeta." "I know," he replies. There's a sense of incompleteness. And not because he hasn't apologized. But because we were a team. We had a deal to keep Peeta safe.

"I can't believe you let him out of your sight that night," says Haymitch.”

He sits me on a length of broken marble pillar and keeps an arm around me while I sob.”
