    Summary

    People often meet in the most unexpected moments—on an ordinary Tuesday while waiting in line for coffee, at a cousin’s wedding while making small talk with strangers, or even in the middle of a chaotic emergency room. Life has a funny way of bringing people together when they least expect it.

    Similarly, the things that forge connections between individuals can be just as random. Sometimes, friendships or relationships blossom over seemingly trivial interests, like a shared nostalgia for Pokémon cards or an obsession with an obscure TV show. Other times, the bond is formed over something far more profound—like a shared mission to save lives, a passion for science, or an unshakable commitment to a career.

    Preston Burke and Cristina Yang, two brilliant surgeons, found themselves drawn to each other through a blend of both the ordinary and the extraordinary. They connected over two things they deeply loved: coffee and medicine. Their relationship, much like their careers, was built on long hours, intense dedication, and the comforting ritual of a freshly brewed cup of coffee in the midst of it all. However, the same passion that brought them together also became the force that pulled them apart.

    Summary

    When Effie opened her mouth, what she ended up asking was one of those types of questions Haymitch couldn't ever prepare yourself for.
    Not in a million years' time.
    Maybe not ever.
    And it was probably the one question he thought would never come from Effie trinket.
    “Where are my children?”

    Effie Trinket has children.

    Effie Is a mother.

    And he never knew, she never told him.

    She knows everything about his family, not that there is much to know about - not after he won the games he was supposed to die in, and by defying Snow's request - brought death upon them.
    He didn’t even know she had a partner, let alone a family of her own.

    I’m her family, and she is mine.

    The urgency of that thought alarmed him so much that he could feel his hands shaking more than they should have now that he was sober. He couldn’t think like that – everything he touched turn into ashes – except Effie.

    And you had to risk it, didn’t you?
