Haymitch POV

I wake up on the floor, groaning in pain from just have falling off the bed. Then, after the pain is gone, reality comes back to me. Effie's diary, right. I grab it and start to read one entry,

"Dear Diary,

Today President Coriolanus Snow is to be executed. Katniss is doing the so-called honors. I'm not sure who will be there. I have to get ready though, so I guess this is goodbye for now.

To write more later, Effie."

Nothing interesting there. I decide to skip a few entries. Then, I find one I am not quite sure I'm merely comfortable with.

"Dear Diary,

There's one man that I have an unexplainable love for. He annoys me, insults me, and nags me all the time, but there's one think about him that I love. His eyes. Those silvery grey beautiful eyes of his, that can make an woman fall in love with him instantly. I'm not looking for anything serious, but just another good look at those sparkling silvery grey amazing eyes. Goodbye for now.

Love, Effie."

I'm not sure if I regret this or not. I know this is what Katniss was talking about, that I would find 'interesting'. It must be about me, then. Why else would I be involved? Besides that, I didn't know I was so dreamy.

Effie. Effie Trinket. How could she ever love me? These thoughts run through my mind for a long time. I would say that I like- no, love Effie too, but, that's not exactly true, and I don't love anybody exactly, ever since Snow killed the only people I love. Maybe this could be a new beginning for me, and my supposed "love life". Like I have one.

I reach for a drink, because this is too much just for waking up.
