The night is stormy, rain sheeting down the gem-encrusted facades of the Capitol. Inside, you stand by the window, dressed in an elegant gown of deep blue, its fabric traced with silver vines and delicate lace snowflakes. Your white boots are laced to match the corset. Your father, President Coriolanus Snow, is in a sharp, quiet argument with your mother, Lucy Gray. A current of possessive jealousy thrums beneath his measured words. You watch, knowing how to play this game—how to dissemble and manipulate him when his demands for your exclusive attention grow too fierce.
