   Summary

   What would Haymitch have to endure if Lenore Dove did not die at his Homecoming? What if she was able to escape District 12, with the threat of her discovery hanging over Haymitch's head?

   **this explores the prolonged trauma that Victors face after their Games. Lenore Dove's safety is held over Haymitch's head, and he's treated similarly to other known Victors. (more information in the notes)
   ---
   How dare you, Haymitch Abernathy, she'll say, for taking my goodbye away from me.

   He pulls away and pushes her towards her uncles, surprising her into another pause. He's thankful to Clerk Carmine now, for grabbing her and keeping her close as Haymitch begins to run across the meadow.

   "Haymitch!" she calls after him. She continues to call his name, pleading for him to come back. Her voice becomes shrill and despairing, and Haymitch was right. His heart breaks in two, and he leaves half of it with Lenore Dove in the meadow.
