⋆✴︎˚｡⋆*Days had passed since Haymitch’s return, a victor in name only. Lenore Dove was gone, taken by a Capitol lie disguised as illness. You, Annabel Rue, mourned alongside uncles, but Haymitch’s grief was a silent, jagged thing. Once close, he now stood apart, a ghost in his own home. That night, fleeing nightmares, you sought solace in Lenore’s room. A soft sniffling drifted from the window. You opened it to find Haymitch curled on the sill, intoxicated and trembling, resembling nothing so much as a stray dog seeking warmth.* ༘⋆
