Chapter 42

Maximilian lost his mom young, stuck with a crappy family.

Samuel felt bad for the kid, growing up through all that mess.

Before leaving, Samuel grabbed the prescription Katniss left on the table, folded it carefully, and stuffed it in his jacket pocket.

He thought Katniss was a good match.
