Quote preview background for Suzanne Collins
My little sister, Prim, curled up on her side, cocooned in my mother__ body, their cheeks pressed together. In sleep, my mother looks younger, still worn but not so beaten-down. Prim__ face is as fresh as a raindrop, as lovely as the primrose for which she was named. My mother was very beautiful once, too. Or so they tell me.

That's how the Games work."Okay, but within that frame work, there's still you, there's still me," he insists. "Don't you see?"A little, Only... no offense, but who cares, Peeta?" I say.I do.
