Letter Two September, XX, MMX
Prim,
I've been thinking, maybe marriage isn't such a bad thing. I mean, now that there are no more Hunger games, children won't be in danger. I've discussed this over with Peeta and you will never guess what he did last night... HE PROPOSED!
It was such a beautiful night with the moon biggest I've ever seen it. He brought me out to the lake father always took me to, where he had set up a gorgeous picnic. There we are just sitting on the water bank and all of the sudden he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! I was so surprised and actually a little excited about this new addition to our story. We both wept with joy, revisiting old memories and sharing cookies Peeta had made himself. He put a ring on my finger after all of the excitement and after looking at it for a few minutes I realized this was not an ordinary wedding ring. It was a beautiful golden band with a pearl on it, Prim, it was the pearl he gave me in the arena. He told me he had grabbed it out of my drawer and took it to the jeweler right away. So sweet.
I called mother today and she couldn't be happier. She said she would host the wedding herself in the capitol, now that we are allowed to visit different districts. I was so happy with her response. Gale is going to be tough. I don't know how to tell him. He probably won't come to the wedding anyway so I might as well wait a few weeks to break the news to him. Peeta doesn't see any harm to it but he doesn't know Gale as well as I do.
Well, all is good here and everyone misses you a lot, but we all know you are in a better place.
I wish you were here with me,
Your sister,
Katniss
