WARNINGS: Typical HG character warnings. Will update if necessary.
While Finnick was a bit nervous about how Annie and Katniss would get along, he was excited about the two of them meeting. Annie was the love of his life, and with Katniss being one of his best friends...part of him very much wanted them to meet, to get along, to understand each other. And he hoped, somewhere deep inside, that maybe Annie could find the friend in Katniss that he had. He worried about her more than he liked to admit, and knew that while he would do everything he could to make her happy, he couldn't do it by himself. She needed friends, people to talk to who weren't him. And he desperately hoped that Katniss could be one of them.
And of course, there was more to it than even that.
He'd never introduced Annie to anyone outside of Four before. He'd never been able to admit before that he loved her; he'd never been able to acknowledge her to anyone. The Capitol had seen to that. To them, admitting that his heart belonged to someone would have ruined his value. And finally getting to do that...well, it felt like he was taking a very large step towards something very important. Towards...not just speaking of his freedom, but of living it.
He squeezed her hand as they reached the door of the dining car.
"You okay?"
