I don't think I cry out or thrash around or anything. I just come to, paralyzed with terror,” he says.“You should wake me,” I say, thinking about how I can interrupt his sleep two or three times on a bad night. About how long it can take to calm me down.“It's not necessary. My nightmares are usually about losing you,” he says. “I'm okay once I realize you're here.","author":"Suzanne Collins","tags":["catching-fire","katniss-and-peeta","katniss-everdeen","love","peeta-mellark","romance","the-hunger-games"],"id":846,"author_id":"Suzanne+Collins"},{"text":"Not like this.

'Let's do it together. Put our faces right in front of his.'Well, there's so little opportunity for fun left in my life, I agree. We position ourselves on either side of Peeta, lean over until our faces are inches frim his nose, and give him a shake. 'Peeta. Peeta, wake up,' I say in a soft, singsong voice.His eyelids flutter open and then he jumps like we've stabbed him. 'Aa!'Finnick and I fall back in the sand, laughing our heads off. Every time we try to stop, we look at Peeta's attempt to maintain a disdainful expression and it sets us off again.","author":"Suzanne Collins","tags":["funny","humor","prank"],"id":12296,"author_id":"Suzanne+Collins"},{"text":"Cookies.

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.","author":"Suzanne Collins","tags":["fire","life","loss"],"id":17378,"author_id":"Suzanne+Collins"},{"text":"I've been down by the stream collecting berries. Would you care for some?'I would, actually, but I don't want to relent too soon. I do walk over and look at them. I've never seen this type before. No, I have. But not in the arena. These aren't Rue's berries, although they resemble them. Nor do they match any I learned about in training. I lean down and scoop up a few, rolling them between my fingers.My father's voice comes back to me. 'Not these, Katniss. Never these. They're nightlock. You'll be dead before they reach your stomach.'Just then the cannon fires. I whip around, expecting Peeta to collapseto the ground, but he only raises his eyebrows. The hoovercraft appears a hundred metres or so away.What's left of Foxface's emaciated body is lifted into the air.","author":"Suzanne Collins","tags":["fantasy","fiction"],"id":18410,"author_id":"Suzanne+Collins"},{"text":"Oh, and I suppose the apples ate the cheese.","author":"Suzanne Collins","tags":["sarcasm"],"id":20049,"author_id":"Suzanne+Collins"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":263,"pages":27,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
