~ After Annie wins the Games, Finnick is trying to reach her while she is in a daze ~
Annie,
Wake up! I need you to wake up! You're frightening me. What if I can't get you back? What will I do?
Oh, Annie, I shouldn't have let you leave for the Games. I should have stopped them from taking you. We could have ran away, why didn't we? Now you're not waking up and it's scary, Annie. It's hard.
Please come back. You're home, alive, and so am I. We're victors now. The torture we were put through was a lot, but we're living! We can be together, we can help each other heal, but you need to let yourself heal a little first! I know what it's like. Visions and nightmares and phantom pains still attack me, too. But Annie, I need you here. I promise, life gets better. I'll help you. Just don't leave me.
- Finnick
~ During Catching Fire, before the tributes leave for the Quarter Quell ~
Dearest darling Annie,
You are my world. Don't forget that as I leave you now for the Games. I'll fight hard so I can come home to you as soon as possible. When I'm back - and I will be - we'll be safe. This plan of rebellion will bring us to a new world, where we can be wed and never have to worry about the Games, or the Capitol, or anything ever again. It will be perfect, but the cost is me leaving you for a while. Hold on. It'll be over before you know it. I need you to be here when I get back, so just keep fighting for me like I'll be fighting for you.
I'll be back soon, and remember: I love you, Annie Cresta.
Yours forever,
Finn
