Prim grinned as Rory dug into the hard cold soil in the meadow. Even though it was February, they knew valuable roots and plants grew through the snow. "Found it!" Rory called before placing a small bulb in Prim's basket.

"Oh, Rory!" Prim sighed. "Mom and I can boil it and make medicine!" Holding out a mittened hand, Rory smiled as she took it.

"Do this again?" Rory asked. "I'll walk you home."

"Rory - I live in Victor's Village with Kat now." Prim pointed out as they reached the edge of the Seam. "You'll have to walk back by yourself."

"I can make it." Rory said proudly before Prim pulled him into a hug. "I love you, Prim!"

"Aaaw - Rory -" Prim sighed as Rory's lips touched hers. "I love you!"

"Ahem!" Opening his eyes, Rory screamed and ran before an arrow narrowly missed his man-parts.

"KATNISS!" Prim yelped as Katniss loaded another arrow. "DON'T HURT MY BOYFRIEND!"

"Your - who?" Katniss asked dangerously, her eyes narrowing.

"Relax, Catnip." Gale said pulling his hunting partner into a hug. "Let them have their moment." Nuzzling his face in the side of Katniss' neck, Gale sighed.

"Prim's too young to fall in love!" Katniss grumbled.

"Promise you won't hurt Rory?" Prim pleaded, locking her blue eyes onto Katniss' face. Looking out into the distance, Katniss saw Rory hiding behind a tree.

"Yeah, he can walk you home." Katniss muttered before her sister hurried toward Rory.

"Rooooooory! You can walk me hooooooooome! Katniss won't arrow you! I made her promise!" Prim called. In spite of herself, Katniss smiled as she saw her little sister take Rory's hand. Knowing Rory was a carbon-copy of Gale, she knew Prim was in good hands.

"Now, where were we?" Gale whispered rubbing his large calloused hands up and down Katniss' sides before turning her toward him. "Hm?" Nudging her nose with his, his lips met hers.

"Oh, Gale -" Katniss felt warm even as Gale unzipped her hunting coat. Sighing, she was lost in his kisses.

"I knew they shooed us off to kiss!" A voice called from behind a nearby bush.

"PRIM, GO HOME!" Katniss screamed embarrassed as two giggling thirteen year olds hurried toward Victor's Village.

Katniss smiled as she opened the door to the Mellark bakery. "RYE, I TOLD YOU TO MIX THE FONDANT TWO HOURS AGO!" A voice screeched from the kitchen.

"MOOOOM! THAT'S PEETA'S JOB! - MOM! PUT THE ROLLING PIN DOWN!" Peeta sighed as he finished frosting a cake. Poking his head into the kitchen, he joined the fray.

"I HAVE EXTRA UP HERE, DON'T BEAT RYE!" Peeta hollered before returning to the counter. "Sorry, Valentine's Day is a bit hectic with all the cakes." Sure enough, rows of small heart-shaped cakes were lined up in the glass display under the counter and in the display case against the windows. "How are you doing, Katniss, dear?" He asked smiling at his beautiful love who was holding Gale's arm.

"Fine." Katniss shrugged. "Oh, we'll have the cake with the arrows." She pointed to a small cake with red fondant frosting. Two crossed chocolate arrows were crossed on the front of it.

"No charge." Peeta said. "For my fellow Victor."

"Nonsense." Katniss pulled a rabbit out of her bag. "Didn't your parents want to have a roast for dinner?"

"Sure. I guess. Mom's been whining to dad about wanting a nice dinner for a while." Peeta chuckled. "Thanks." Katniss smiled. "Hey, can I cook dinner at your mom's place? I just want to treat her, you know?" Katniss nodded feeling her heart melt at Peeta's genuine kindness not just toward her, but toward her mother and sister. "Your family is invited too." He said to Gale.

"Ok." Gale said restraining himself from glaring at the baker.

Later, Katniss smiled as her mother relaxed on the couch reading a book on herbal remedies. Prim was sitting on a floor cushion making a friendship bracelet out of blue and green thread. "And Rory walked me past town and I think we saw you and Gale in the bakery."

"Yeah, you probably did." Katniss muttered as she fixed her bow string.

"And then Rory let me look in the clothing store. I tried on a dress."

"You could've asked me for money, little duck." Katniss added.

"Well - I know, but I guess I just wanted to walk around with Rory. Then we stopped by the Justice Building and sat on the steps and talked for a bit and -" She smiled herself thinking about wrapping her arms around Rory as he kissed her.

"Please don't tell me you guys are planning your wedding already -"

"Well -" Prim's blush gave it away. "But, Katniss, we were on the steps of the Justice Building, and we could just see it -"

"I know, Prim." Katniss sighed. "My little sister. In love."
