   Summary

   Haymitch never wanted to be needed.

   Over the years, he has learned to stop wanting anything. But when Asterid Everdeen refuses to sign the guardianship papers that will save her remaining daughter, he steps up.

   Katniss certainly doesn't want him, but that doesn't mean she doesn't need him.
