3am

"What's Effie short for?"

The question catches Effie off guard.

"Well, if you must know, I was named after..."

Haymitch interrupts by snorting loudly, "Cuz she's taken 'er heels off!"

He guffaws to himself, oblivious to the angry woman currently supporting most of his weight.

"Effie..." he tugs at her hand and whispers drunkenly, "it's funny because you're so teeny tiny – d'ya get it?"

Tiredly she responds;"Yes, I get it Haymitch."

She wonders if he would remember in the morning if she belted him around the face with a pair of 4 inch stilettos.

A place for my Hayffie drabbles, enjoy :)
