"Sissy, watch me!" A small, blond, pixie-like toddler called Primrose shouts.
She jumps and twirls, landing on her bottom. Her bright blue eyes go a bit dull, and a tear leaks out of her right eye.
"Prim!" A black haired and grey eyed child, Katniss, Primrose's older sister, drops to her knees on the sun warmed carpet. With outstretched arms, she takes in the toddler and picks her up, spinning around in the small living room.
The toddler's eyes return to their bright state as she grabs a handful of her big sister's dark hair.
Both girls laugh, the sound ringing throughout the modest home. The larger one sets Primrose on the carpet and performs a somersault.
"Again, again!" Shouts Primrose, clapping.
"Let's have a race!" says Katniss, standing up and positioning herself at the edge of the rug.
"Wace!" Says Primrose, joining Katniss.
"1,2,3, GO!" shouts Katniss and the girls begin.
With long, coordinated legs, Katniss could easily win, but she goes slowly, letting her little sister win at the last moment.
"I love you Katniss!" exclaims Primrose, turning towards her elder sister, and jumping into her arms, who playfully falls, and says, "I love you more."
