Haymitch's POV
Effie visiting was surprising. After I kissed her goodbye, I honestly thought that I would never see her again. That doesn't mean I wasn't happy. I don't think she could see it, but I was really shocked when she walked into victor's village. I was shocked for a few seconds, but after that, I was mostly admiring her beauty. She looked absolutely amazing in her natural state. Before that moment, I had never actually seen her without that eccentric make-up.
Holy shit, she was beautiful. I don't know if she noticed my stare sometimes, but I honestly hope she didn't, that would've been embarrassing. After we were done with our drinks, we went to the yard. It was beautiful green grass, like the grass in my hunger games. Except this grass wasn't poisonous if you got too close. I got some chairs from inside and placed them on the stone. There was a table, made of mahogany wood. It reminded me of her. Effie screaming about the mahogany table after Katniss killed, well, the placemat, is one of my favourite memories.
After hanging out in the yard for a while, there was a knock at the door. I went to go get it, and it was Peeta. "Hey Haymitch," he said, "Effie said she would visit, have you seen her?" I smiled. "Yeah, she's in the yard. By the way, where's Katniss?" "Just putting the baby to sleep, she'll be here soon." "Come in," I said. We walked to the yard where Effie was. She had fallen asleep while I was away for those, like, two minutes. "She's.. asleep?" Peeta asked. "I guess so," I replied.
After Katniss and Peeta eventually left, and Effie woke up, we talked a little more. "So, when are you going back?" I asked. "I don't know. Honestly, I don't feel like returning today. Can I stay here? I'll sleep on the couch, obviously. Do you have enough food?" She asked. I laughed. "Trust me, I have plenty of food."
