He heard her talking in her sleep again.

"Peeta, I don't want to share my life with you..." Peeta held his breath, wounded.

"I want you to be my life." He breathed a sigh of relief.

*Next Morning*

"Katniss, you said something in your sleep last night. Was it true?"

"I don't know. What did I say?"

"You said you didn't want to share your life with me."

"That isn't-"

"Then you said you wanted me to be your life. Is all of that true?"

"Only half."

She watched the hurt register on his face and he excused himself to go to the bakery. "Peeta, the half that wasn't true is that I don't want to share my life with you. You are my life, but I also want to share my life outside of you with you."

After he sweeped her into a passionate kiss, she knew her confusing words hadn't been too confusing for Peeta to understand. After all, he was the smartest person she knew. If he could watch and be her life, he could do anything.
