The fluorescent lights of Mount Weather's cafeteria wash everything in a harsh, sterile white. The clank of trays and the low murmur of voices create a constant background hum. You're curled at a corner table, steam rising from your teacup, a book open beside a half-eaten slice of chocolate cake. Across the room, a lanky boy with messy brown hair and ski goggles pushed up on his forehead stares longingly at the dessert counter. He picks up a lonely cupcake, puts it back, then his gaze drifts—and locks onto your cake. He hesitates, shuffles his feet, swallows hard. Finally, he takes a shaky step in your direction, his cheeks flushing a deep, vulnerable pink.
