"I like your daughter." Peeta says, and Diana immediately backs off.

"So you like my daughter. And what on earth is it that you are trying to tell me with that Peeta?" she asks a little annoyed.

"Nothing that wouldn't be right, don't get scared. I have spoken to Katniss a couple of times, and to be honest I would like to get to know her better. I hope that you and your family can accept me, if there was to be something else than friendship between us one day." Peeta quickly tells her.

"Something like what?" Diana turns around to face him.

"I have plans of getting married and forming a family, and if something would to happen between me and your daughter, she is the perfect woman for me."

Diana chuckles. "Well that is something that you can't decide over one conversation Peeta. As you understand I need to speak about this with my husband and of course, Katniss. You don't know her. No one can tell her what to do, she has always been so rebellious."

"The thing is that I don't want anyone to pressure her. If Katniss would to accept me, I would like it be because she herself wants to." Peeta says. He didn't want to force Katniss to marry him. He just wanted acceptance from the Everdeen's.

"It's just that well I'm sorry to have to repeat myself but there is one huge problem." Diana says.

"You mean my origin? The fact that I am a bastard." Peeta repeats this with no shame.

"Well yes. Personally I don't care. But our family is one of the most important here in District Twelve. I have nothing against you. I think you've been acting like a gentleman but.."

"..But I'm not." Peeta finishes for her.

Diana sits down on the sofa again. "Don't take it as an offense. But as Katniss's mother I want the best for her, and well of course someone from a better social level. And not someone who's mother is a poor peasant. That besides grew up as a worker." She says in disgust.

Peeta nods. "And if I were to take care of your family's economic state? Could that little inconvenience be forgotten?"

Diana looks confused. "I don't understand." she says and once again raises from her seat, as if she can't decide between sitting or standing, staying or going, accepting, or declining.

"If I were to pay for all of the Everdeen's depths. Would you then accept me for your daughter, although I am just a worker?"

"How do you know about our depths Peeta?"

"Ask Seneca Crane." Peeta simply answers.

"Your offer is very interesting, but I don't know. Can I give you an answer in a couple of days?" Diana asks.

Peeta only nods. "Do not talk about this to anyone else, especially not to Katniss. I don't want any confusions about my real intentions." Peeta warns.

"No no, no one will know about this. I promise. I'm just asking for a couple of days to think things better."

"Very well."

"About the scriptures, are you going to give them back?"

"Yes. Give me a second, I'll get the documents." Peeta walks away, leaving Diana smiling viciously, still wondering if to accept or not.

Late at night Katniss enters her home, where she finds Charlie waiting for her in the living room.

"Where were you Katniss?"

"I went out for a walk." she says dully.

"What's wrong honey? Why do you look so sad?" he asks.

Katniss instantly puts on a fake smile. "No dad, nothing."

"Come here Katniss, you can't lie to me."

Katniss sits down next to her father.

"I can see it in your eyes, tell me, what's wrong?"

"Dad, you once told me that right now you wouldn't want me to date anyone, that it's best if I wait a little, before having a boyfriend. But you know deep down I really want to have a partner, to get married." she sighs with her fake smile.

"Well It's not that I don't like the idea, of course I want you to find your place, and for you to give me many grandchildren. But there is no hurry. Everything will come with time." Charlie says chuckling.

"And what would to happen if I would fall in love with someone that is not from our social level? Someone who wouldn't have company's, lands, but a man that would be simple, smart, and hard working? Would you accept that?" Katniss asks as her eyes shine thinking about Gale.

"Why are you asking Katniss?"

"I'd just like to know how you would feel if something like that would ever happen to me?"

"Well I have nothing against honest and hard working people. To me all men are the same. But you are a girl that comes from a good family, and when you get married, well you should focus on doing it with someone who can give you the life, from your level." Katniss's smile freezes. "Although I don't really see why you are asking me this." Charlie finishes.

"Nothing dad. Forget it." she says.
