This is a quick thank you for reading my first ever story! I only discovered FanFiction a few months ago, and obviously was a bit behind the 8-ball publishing a Hunger Games story in 2017. To be candid, I assumed no one would even read this. Needless to say, every review, every favorite, every follow made me so amazingly happy. You are all so fantastic!

I think Suzanne Collins is amazing. I think the trilogy is beautiful.

A special shout out:

To jroseley, stjohn27, and fluffytardis- Thank you for all your encouraging words. Whenever I saw an alert come in for one of your reviews, it made me feel really special. You all inspired me to keep writing this. I thought of you every time I posted a chapter. To be honest, I'm not sure I would have seen this through had it not been for the three of you. So you three anonymous, beautiful people, thank you.

To Niqachita – Thank you for your criticisms and praise. I hurried to publish the chapter following the shooting because I knew you were so upset. Hope I made it up to you. :)

Also, to whoever the Guest was that wrote:

"Can I walk you home?"
"I'm not going home."
(I AM home.)
I can't smile enough after reading that.

I couldn't smile enough after reading your review. So thanks.

And to everyone that made it this far - thanks for reading my story. Thanks for being part of this. Thanks for the love. Sending it back atcha.

Signing off (for now).
