favorite book quotes :
“It feels like such a luxury, sleeping with Peeta again. I didn’t realize until now how starved I’ve been for human closeness. For the feel of him beside me in the darkness. I wish I hadn’t wasted the last couple of nights shutting him out. I sink down into sleep, enveloped in his warmth, and when I open my eyes again, daylight’s streaming through the windows.”
- catching fire (2009) by suzanne collins
#everlark#thg#hunger games#Katniss everdeen#peeta mellark#fbq#myphotoart#this is a quote in my 4 years in this fandom I’ve never seen appreciated and maybe it’s because of her talking of being starved for human#connection that makes most feel like it’s a little impersonal like she’s thinking it could be anyone in her bed with her#but if you recognize : the very next sentence is basically her amending that thought right away#like ‘I’ve missed having someone with me at night…. no actually I’ve missed having Peeta with me at night’#like she’s saying I’ve missed this no wait actually I’ve missed HIM#for the feel of him beside me in the darkness#not just somebody beside her but him!#also her stating that she feels Peeta all night beside her even when she’s sleeping is also sweet he really is her safe haven#i digress now#300
