Chapter 2: Old Times

Gale POV

Finally, I had Katniss back in my life. I wasn't going to lose her again. I couldn't lose her again. She was my soul mate and I wanted to be with her! I still loved her and would always love her! I have to let her know before I leave.

Katniss POV

I woke up eager to start the day. Peeta had left me a note.

Dear Katniss,

I didn't want to wake you. Mother came down with some sickness. I left to visit her and my father in District 10. Will be back tomorrow around dinnertime. Love you!

I didn't tell him I was meeting Gale. I didn't want Peeta to worry and I did NOT want him to be jealous. I loved Gale once, but that didn't mean we still were in love. I think.

I push the thoughts of love from my mind. Today I am hunting with Gale. Just like old times.

I put on my clothes and my father's old hunting jacket. I pull on my boots and I leave.

I crawl under the fence. I guess I am early because Gale isn't here. I relax against a tree and play with my braid. Then he appeared.

"Hey, Catnip!" He strolls over and sweeps me up in a big hug.

"Hey, Gale," I reply. "So what are we hunting?"

"Actually I was thinking we could go fishing and then maybe swim. Like old times."

"Sure, but I don't have my swim suit."

"It's okay. Neither do I." The butterflies in my stomach jumped, but I didn't know why.
