“That what I need to survive is not Gale's fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that.”

“And she says, “Then let’s just take the effing road and get ourselves to Haven.â€�
I smile, a little. “You said effing,â€� I say. “You actually said the word effing.”
