"She should have chosen you." Peeta was working dough behind the counter. I let Posy glance around the new bakery by herself.
"I don't want her. She's my best friend. I never meant for this to be a competition." I told him, trying to believe it.
"Gale" posy cried from the other side of the bakery "I want some cookies!" she jumps up and down pointing to the elegantly painted cookies in the window. Peeta leaves his position behind the counter, and goes over to posy. He hands her a cookie and pats her on the head "On the house" he tells her. He comes back over to me.
"She isn't happy with me. I remind her of everything. Of Prim." Peeta puts his head down. Katniss has found the same flaw in us both.
"I'm sorry." I tell him. Without thinking, I pull him into a hug. Peeta embraces me and I can hear slight sobs coming from him.
"I just want to make someone happy." he tells me. I feel weird when he says this and I pull away. His tears have stopped and he looks flushed. "I'm sorry." he says. I grab his arm before he walks away.
"I'm not. We have each other now." I tell him boldly. Peeta blushes and flicks his blonde hair from his face. I wave goodbye and take posy home. I will visit the baker again later today.
