[Twenty-Five - Right Through The Eye]

Christmas time again.

[Katniss's voice is soft, and sad, as she plays with the laces on her boots. She's looking out the windows at the soft, white snow that is gathering on the ground.] This time of year always reminds me of Gale, and Peeta, and back home. When things were at their worst, they were still with me. I miss them, every single day.

[She sighed, quietly, before she got up and went to the window.] I know you're still here, my friends and my family. I've been thinking ... maybe I should come back to the Castle for the winter. I don't really want to but - I don't know.

[She touched the glass.] It seems like a bad time, to be alone.

[Meg laughs a little] Good to know.

So, you're gonna move back to the castle, huh?

[the_effect_she_has]

[She nodded her head, as she reached for her glass.]

Just for the winter. It's safer, I figure. More or less.

Well, don't be a stranger. You'll have to let me know if I'm doing Emma's recipe book justice.

[She glanced over at the older woman - not much older - maybe ten or so years. Then she slowly nodded, thinking of that porcelain bulldog.] I will.
