Gale's POV
"C-Catnip?", I stammer, still having the habit of calling her by her nickname. She looks stunning, her grey eyes shining bright, her black hair flowing freely down her back, she is beautiful.
"Gale, you're here!", she exclaims as she leaps into my arms. Embracing her feels so familiar and right, but then I remember that I haven't cleaned up in what seems like years. I let her go and look at her with hurt in my eyes. Remembering all the memories that got me here in the first place. Tears swell in my eyes and I begin to pack up my very few belongings. But a hand darts out having a firm grasp on my wrist.
I look up to see Peeta looking in my eyes with concern. "What are you doing?", I ask.
He keeps looking at me with those eyes that make it hard to hate him. "You need to come in with us. We'll give you a good home", he says. We? What does he mean? I glare at him. No way am I going to live with him. I rip my arm away from him and stride off. But once more, a gentle hand takes mine. Katniss' hand is in mine as small as usual, perfectly fitting into mine, her skin is soft and moisturized.
"Please, Gale", she says. She looks at me with those grey eyes that struck me with love eternities ago. The ones that will never make me disagree.
Katniss' POV "Here we are", I announce as I take him to my house in the Victor's Village. Gale looks around, absorbing the sights into his mind. There's an akward silence from everyone. It's been years since I've last seen Gale. The last moment I saw him, he was looking at me sadly as he stepped onto the train to District 2, never to be seen again. But all of a sudden here he is again. Of course I am extremely happy he's back but everything that happend is too much to handle. In this case I want to explode questions at him, but not with Peeta in the room.
"Would you like anything?", I ask Gale, trying to make an excuse to make Peeta leave.
He looks around akwardly. Of course he is starving, wants to take a bath or something atleast. But he doesn't want to be a burden to me. Just like when I won spoils from the first games. He refuesed to take a single coin.
"Peeta, how about you make us dinner, I'll be upstairs", I say while looking at him eagerly. He seems to get my message and nodds, heading to the kitchen. Before he dissapears, he looks at me concerned and walks away. I turn my attention to Gale.
"Gale, let's go upstairs", he nods and heads upstairs with me.
While we tredge up the stairs and pause at the door, I notice something I haven't bothered to notice before. It flashes in the light each time he moves his arm.
My lip begins to tremble as I take a glimps of it. How could he do that to me ?. I think, possibilities and ideas race through my mind. Shakingly, my legs begin to feel like liquid, not being able to hold my weight.
As I pass out, the last thing I see on his hand is a beautifully crafted engagement ring.
Gasp, Gale has an engagement ring on his hand! How did it get there, what's the story behind it, did he or was he going to marry someone? Review, so i can be motivated to post the next chapter. All about the ring, and how he got here in the first place! REVIEW ! (:
