I have one week until the reaping. One week to spend time with the people I love. Most of it will be spent with Peeta.
I go over to his house early. It's not even eight o'clock in the morning. He didn't sleep well either last night I guess because he is sitting in his kitchen wide awake. He gestures for me to come in and I go and sit next to him at the table.
"I love you," he says as he wraps his arms around me. I can tell by his voice that he's been crying.
"I love you too," I say as I hold back tears.
"Everything is ruined," he says. "Our future, our lives. We won't even get a wedding."
That's when an idea hit me.
"We could still get married," I say and sit up.
"What do you mean?" he asks.
"It wouldn't be a real wedding, but we can do the toasting here with everyone."
"That's a great idea," Peeta says. His voice has lightened up.
"Let's do it tonight with our families and Haymitch," I say. "It might not be official but it's the closest we will get."
Peeta agreed. We were going to be married even if it wasn't official.
We spent the rest of the day planning our little toasting. When the sun started to set, our families and Haymitch all gathered around an empty house in Victors Village. We decided to move into our own house but would go back to our old houses for the cameras.
Everyone gathered in the living room and Peeta and I sat by the lit fireplace and prepared the bread. When it was ready, we both took a bite of the bread and it was official to us. We were married.
Everyone left after a while and Peeta and I had the whole house to ourselves. We went upstairs to our new bedroom and sat on the bed.
"I love you Katniss Mellark," he said. Technically my name would still be Katniss Everdeen but to me and Peeta I was a Mellark.
"I love you too my husband," I said and I kissed him. It was a long and passionate kiss. Next thing I know both of our clothes are off and the rest of the night is a blur. I fell asleep that night with my head on Peeta's chest.
