Peeta
Maybe it's okay around you, but I can't afford to look weak in front of the others. I can't make us look like easy targets. I already put us in enough danger.
I figured. I wouldn't have left you either.
You were right, by the way, about us being together making things easier instead of harder. When I was there and I didn't know if...how things would turn out for me, I thought I'd regret that we were together because it would give me more to lose and make it harder for you if I was gone. But mostly I was just relieved you knew I loved you so that was...I don't know. Reassuring. So...there's that at least.
