It was also in a state of disuse given that Effie had started to redecorate it at some point but the project had fallen short because of Haymitch’s usual uncooperativeness. “This is stupid.” He sighed but she knew he would do as she asked. The rest was thrown at each other’s face. Well, some of the bread went into the pen at least. Even the geese didn’t quack loud enough to cover the argument between the two people throwing them bread. “Katniss…” Peeta tried again, as they reached the pen. Now, they all wanted to keep her in Twelve but Katniss was almost ready to build her a house with her bare hands if that meant she could cuddle with her fiancé on the couch in peace for one hour. Effie had come there to recover, as far as Katniss was concerned, she had recovered. Unfortunately, Katniss and Peeta being their closest neighbors and their closest friends could never escape their fights and that when they weren’t outright dragged in the middle of it. Effie was constantly nagging Haymitch to stop or at least decrease his drinking and Haymitch was livid over some changes she had made in the house and kept telling to whoever wanted to listen that she was trying to transform the house into a candy box and he wasn’t about to stand for it. They had always fought, of course, Peeta and Katniss were used to that, expected it even, but it had taken a sour turn nowadays. Either they managed to get along or Effie should find another house close by. She loved Haymitch and Effie to death, she really did, but it might be time for them to reconsider their living arrangements. Now, that wouldn’t have been a real problem if they couldn’t still hear them once the window had been closed, she could have maybe even forgiven that if this ridiculous fight had not been going on for four bloody endless days. Peeta and she had been enjoying a calm, relaxing day together when shouts and insults had started flying in through the open window. She was fed up – and that was a nice euphemism to say she was utterly done – with their neighbors. “Katniss! Katniss, wait!” Peeta ran after her as fast as his leg would allow him but Katniss didn’t slow down like she usually would.
