Peeta



When I open my eyes hers are there, hovering over me. Their colour seems to have intensified, now more of a dewy silver than a grey. It suits her better, i guess. I lift my hand to touch her cheek. The right hand, the one without my medical wristband that reads 'mentally disoriented'. For some reason, I don't want her to see that, don't want her to see how weak I have become without her.


My fingertips are millimetres from her face when she disappears, dissipates into smoke. The coldness floods through me and i let the tears wet my pillow.
