Felix slammed the car door shut, slid into the driver's seat, and asked, "Where you headed, miss?"

Maximilian glanced at her squatting and said coolly, "Ain't that uncomfortable?" "No, it's fine..." But before she could finish, Katniss, all jittery, banged her head on the car roof and bit her lip to keep from yelping. Feeling a bit down, Katniss lowered her head even more, barely breathing.

Maximilian's lips tightened into a straight line as he looked at her, then shrugged off his suit jacket and tossed it onto the seat next to him. "Use this as a cushion."

Katniss's eyes went wide, her eyelashes fluttering. That suit looked pricey.

She was struggling to afford basic necessities; how could she dare use such an expensive suit as a cushion?
