“I remember everything about you,” says Peeta, tucking a<br />

loose strand of hair behind my ear. “You’re the one who<br />

wasn’t paying attention.”<br />

“I am now,” I say.<br />

“Well, I don’t have much competition here,” he says.<br />

I want to draw away, to close those shutters again, but I<br />

know I can’t. It’s as if I can hear Haymitch whispering in my<br />

ear, “Say it! Say it!”<br />

I swallow hard and get the words out. “You don’t have<br />

much competition anywhere.” And this time, it’s me who leans<br />

in.<br />

Our lips have just barely touched when the clunk outside<br />

makes us jump. My bow comes up, the arrow ready to fly, but<br />

there’s no other sound. Peeta peers through the rocks and<br />

then gives a whoop. Before I can stop him, lie’s out in the rain,<br />

then handing something in to me. A silver parachute attached<br />

to a basket. I rip it open at once and inside there’s a feast —<br />

fresh rolls, goat cheese, apples, and best of all, a tureen of that<br />

incredible lamb stew on wild rice. The very dish I told Caesar<br />

Flickerman was the most impressive thing the Capitol had to<br />

offer.<br />

Peeta wriggles back inside, his face lit up like the sun. “I<br />

guess Haymitch finally got tired of watching us starve.”<br />

“I guess so,” I answer.<br />

But in my head I can hear Haymitch’s smug, if slightly exasperated,<br />

words, “Yes, that’s what I’m looking lot, sweetheart.”<br />
