Chapter 4: Unrequited Love
"Do you know what unrequited love is Peeta?" Papa asked in a foreign tone.
Peeta was still gazing at the girl with black hair and startling gray eyes, though she was no longer looking in is direction. "No," he replied.
"Before I met your mother, that girl, her name is Katniss. I fell in love with her mother." Peeta looked bewildered, the idea that he loved another besides mama befuddled him. "I loved her dearly."
"Then why didn't you ask her to marry you?" Peeta asked.
"Because she married a coal-miner. When he sang, even the birds stopped to listen."
