I'm going to stay right here and cause all kinds of trouble." "Me, too," Gale says. He just manages a smile before the drugs pull him back under.” LooksKindI CanDiesChoicesCausesSimpleGoneTroubleDrugKissingSorryWoodsAll KindsManageHeyLook At MeGaleEyelashesHazeOpiatesQuarryI'm So Sorry Author:Suzanne Collins
