Everlark challenge: 14. What I’m afraid they’ll leave out of the movies.
“I can’t believe you didn’t rescue Peeta.”
“I know,” he replies.
There’s a sense of incompleteness. And not because he hasn’t apologized. But because we were a team. We had a deal to keep Peeta safe. A drunken, unrealistic deal made in the dark of night, but a deal just the same. And in my heart of hearts, I know we both failed.
“Now you say it,” I tell him.
“I can’t believe you let him out of your sight that night,” says Haymitch.I don’t know why I’m scared that they’ll leave this moment out. Maybe because it’s one of my favorite Katniss/Haymitch scenes in all three books. They’re right to blame each other, and for the first time, they actually do it. They made a deal to keep Peeta alive, and they both failed. And this scene just moved me, and I can’t really explain why. But it did, and it will forever be one of my favorite scenes. Ever.
