Katniss and Gale studied the man for a few minutes. That was when Katniss realised who it was, and fainted. Gale rushed to her side and easily lifted her up into his arms, holding her against his chest. The man moved towards them, "Don't you dare come any closer to her!" Gale shouted, causing the man to freeze in his tracks. "Haven't you worked it out yet Gale? Who has been missing for a long time who would make Katniss faint even at thought of me even being alive? Hmm?" He said, obviously annoyed and fed up. That was when Gale suddenly realised, Gale almost dropped Katniss when he worked it out.
"Mr. Everdeen," Gale gasped, still wondering whether he was just dreaming or making it up! "Yes, That's right Gale, and do you know who that is you're holding?"Mr. Everdeen replied. "*Gulp* your Daughter, look, I am so sorry, I didn't realise...Gale began, but was interrupted by Mr. Everdeen "Don't worry Gale, I would of done the same if it were me holding her and you being the strange man in the corner." He said, laughing so loudly that the thatched house shook.
"What's going on?" Katniss asked, still feeling sleepy and slightly dreamy. That was when she remembered, she thought that it might have just been a beautiful, hopeful dream, but no. There he was, standing before her. Katniss tried to sit up, then realised that Gale was holding her. "So, what are you two love birds doing here anyway?" Mr. Everdeen asked, causing Katniss to blush and Gale to look down at his feet in embarrassment. "Well?" Mr. Everdeen continued. He was just about to say something else but paused when he heard a small gasp at the door behind them.
