Dear Diary,

Haymitch took me to the apothecary shop this afternoon.
I had caught a terrible chill yesterday when he took me to the mayor's mansion.
I told him I didn't need any medication but he insisted. Saying that I had to meet someone who was there anyway.
So to the apothecary shop we went.. it was a pretty long walk. I'm glad it wasn't as windy as it was yesterday. The snow looked so pretty where no one had walked on it yet.
We very rarely get snow at the Capitol. Usually on Christmas day and that's it.
As we stepped inside the shop a little bell rang. It was rigged to the door.
A little girl maybe twelve or thirteen, with long blonde hair came up to help us. She ran to give her father the order.
After that I didn't pay much attention to her or really anyone else.
I wanted to go back to Haymitch's house where I could have a cup of coffee and snuggle into a blanket.
It took no time for us to get the medicine for me. Apparently they keep a lot of it in stock during the winter.
On the walk back to the house, Haymitch asked me what I thought. "Of what?" I had replied.
The girl with the blonde hair is his sister! I couldn't believe it. I thought she had died.
Haymitch said his aunt and uncle adopted her. They couldn't have children and Haymitch's parents couldn't feed another mouth.
"She doesn't know that I'm her brother. She was just a few weeks old when they adopted her." He said.
The way he had talked about her before his games, he made it sound like they were really close.
I guess he tried to be friends with her in school and kinda watched after her.
When we got inside of the house, Haymitch started a pot of coffee.
I went to lay down on the couch. I woke up to Haymitch nudging me. He handed me my cup and I kissed him. It was kinda forceful on my part, he seemed kinda shocked to be getting kissed.
When I finally pulled back he gasped for air.
I love him so much. I wish we could be together so badly.
Love,

Effie

Happy make single people feel bad day! Lol
I wasn't going to have a hayffie kiss in this chapter but since it is valentine's day I guess I felt like I had to. 😂
Going to be busy packing/unpacking the next couple of weeks and where we're moving to doesn't have good cell service in the area. 😭
So I'll write when I'm not busy and update when I can.
