She sounded just like my father, his tone, the sound of his voice, so smooth and elegant. The boy, named after Peeta's father, Hamilton, was talking to Bruttercup, my sister's cat. He keeps telling him things I used to say to him like "I'll still cook you" or "Don't you wanna see Prim?" Every time I hear her name, I tear up.
