President Alva
I felt unbelievably busy as I went through the 3D maps of the arena. I had been surprised when Head Gamemaker Zunis announced within only a week of my announcement that he had everything mapped out for me to approve.
The sound of the office door opening causes me to shrink and close the map. I spin around on my office chair, annoyance growing heavy on my facial features.
They soften when I meet the eyes of my kitten. She has a look of frustration and exhaustion playing across her smooth skin.
Her copper colored hair looked like curled yarn that bounced on her bared shoulders, her sparkling green eyes matched her silky, green nightgown.
My kitten doesn't look like most Capital women. That's what I loved most about her.
"When are you coming to bed?" She asks with a tired tone. I glance at the mini map that was waiting to be opened once more. This causes her to sigh heavily.
"Kitten," I start, but she quickly cuts me off.
"Don't you dare call me that! You know very well that I'm upset with you." Carnation snaps, surprising me.
I clear my throat, narrowing my eyes.
"I have work to do!"
Carnation crosses her arms over her chest with a deadly glare.
"What? Making those tributes more isolated before their deaths?" She becomes almost frantic, and I stand up. "You know very well that I wasn't serious about restarting these damned games!"
"What am I supposed to do? Mentors are past victors, they always have been. And giving them an Avox or two could result badly. Do you want to serve one of those convects?!" I yell. I know I've won this part of the argument, but the look on my wife's face says it all.
I'm sleeping on the couch tonight.
"Fuck you. I just want you to come back to me! You've been at this for years! You aren't like you used to be." Tears slip down Carnation's cheek before she quickly leaves my office.
I violently kick the desk, and instantly I regret it. I let out a pained whimper and fall into my chair.
Why couldn't Carnation see what I'm doing for her?
