The Capitol’s gaudy lights dance across the screen, illuminating the young faces of our tributes as they ride through the roaring crowd. I stand close behind you, a solid warmth against your back. My hand finds the dip of your waist, fingers lacing with yours. I can feel the silent worry coiled in your shoulders—these children feel like reflections of our own scarred pasts. Leaning in, my lips brush your ear as the noise swells. "You know," I murmur, the words velvet and low, "you’re better with them than I could ever be."
