Summary: Katniss and Peeta are rushed into the Justice Building, where they are safe from the angry crowd outside. Haymitch joins them, and he takes them in some storage room located in the Justice Building, and asks Katniss and Peeta what exactly happened out there. Katniss tells them everything. She tells them about President Snow, how much danger they are in, and Peeta snaps. He had enough with people keeping secrets from other people that they were so close to, and uses Katniss and Haymitch as an example. However, they do end up getting over this argument, and just in time for they have to get ready for the dinner. Surprisingly, the dinner actually goes quite well, and in no time Katniss and Peeta are on the train to the next District. This same routine of lessening to The Speech of Honor, giving a thank you speech, going to dinner and then getting right back onto the train was going well in all Districts (12-1), and now it was time for their stop at the Capital. Peeta ends up fake proposing to Katniss during the ceremony, and Katniss thought that this would get President Snow to believe about the whole “love story”. However, Katniss was wrong; when she looks into his eyes for that reassuring nod, she is rejected by a “imperceptible shake of his head”!
