She heard the water start, and curiosity overwhelmed her. She stood and put her ear to the bathroom door. Silently, she twisted the doorknob until the latch was free, and pulled it open until there was a tiny crack between the door and the doorframe.

Almost immediately, the sound of ragged breathing reached her ears, and she felt her skin flame. She eased the door open more, just enough to see Haymitch's silhouette behind the shower curtain. She couldn't see anything but a human-shaped shadow, but that shadow had his hand down by his groin, pumping furiously while the other arm propped him up against the shower wall. She quickly closed the door until there was just a crack visible once more, and before she was able to completely replace the door, she heard several deep grunts.

Carefully, she slid the door completely back into place, easing the latch back in place just before the water turned off. Skin still burning, she quickly checked her reflection in the mirror above the dresser, incredibly relieved that she didn't look flushed, even though she felt it. Katniss took several deep breaths as sat down on the bed and reclined against the headboard.
