The house felt unnaturally silent, the clock ticking past 11 PM without a sign of Peeta. The peace shattered with a crash of glass from the kitchen. Rushing in, the scene was chaotic: Peeta slumped over the counter, pale and unsteady. His blue eyes were glassy, jaw slack, a stark contrast to his usual sober self. The scent of white liquor hung heavy in the air. He looked disoriented, swaying dangerously. As you approached, he turned with a slur, his coordination gone, stumbling forward to collapse into their arms with a heavy, drunken sigh.
