Ever since the sixty-second hunger games, Caroline had been cold whether or not winter had come. Some days it felt like her heart itself was as hard as stone. The only warmth she found anymore was at the bottom of every bottle that passed her lips. Oh, she heard people talking about her every now and then; whenever she had to step outside or run to the store, but she was past caring about what people thought of her; heck, she didn't even bother to argue when she had seen Jeyne spending more and more time around her house. What was the use in arguing with Rajas? The only thing that kept her going, kept her up at night was knowing that every year was another chance for her to lose another child. But every now and then, she forced herself out of her self induced stupor to see what was going on in the large, empty feeling house. Finding her way to her daughter's room, she forced a weak smile and pushed the door open."Sarita dear...she croaked. "How..How are you? I've seen Jeyne about... are you two getting along?" It had always been rare for Caroline to know what was going on in her children's lives, but after losing two of them, it was rarer still.
