Move on with our lives.
This was all Katniss could think about this morning..Peeta was right after all, they had nothing left. It was time to move on.
That was what they were doing, today Katniss and Peeta were going back into town to get some things. Peeta wouldn't tell her what exactly they were but Katniss was happy just to be with him today.
They were headed to a hardware store, Annie stayed behind on this outing. Katniss heard her tell Peeta something about them needing private time together. She was always like that, never wanting to impose on anyone. Annie had even offered to stay somewhere else to give Kaniss and Peeta more privacy.
The hardware store's doors slid open as they stepped on the black mat.
"It feels the weight and that's why those doors know to open." Peeta tried explaining, using his arms pretending to pry them open.
"That's cool, but I think its a sensor above the doors." Katniss couldn't help but giggle at his obviously exadurated frown.
"We can still stick with your idea " and he was happy again.
The hardware store was full of remodeling and building equipment, Katniss personally loved the way Peeta went straight to the paint. She'd probably never even seen these many colors on one wall before. Peeta picked a few little pieces of square papers off the wall and as he looked down at them seemed to mouth the words orange, sunset orange.
"Is that what they called it?" She really didn't mean to pry but he was so interested in this color it was hard not to admire him.
"No.. just something I call it. couldn't remember the real name once I tried explaining I needed a orange color and the girl trying to help me guessed like a neon orange and I just said no more like a sunset orange and that's how it got the name I gave it."
Katniss smiles at his story, it's actually cute how he named the color.
"So they use your name, for the paint?" she asked, a little confused
"Oh, no I just never really told them.. always found it on my own after that."
All of a sudden Katniss had an idea, one that she had to suppress because he might laugh at her for it. Although the longer she watched him pick paints and occasionally smile at her the more she wanted to just tell him, how bad could it be really? so she took a deep breath...
"Maybe we could tell them to re-name it then."
His small smile told her that he was thinking of doing just that
"Re-name their paint?"
"Yes."
there was a pause before Peeta allowed a shy smile onto his face
"Katniss, I like the idea but I don't think they would do it. Really why I haven't mentioned it sooner besides I have names for almost every paint in this store."
He smiled as she picked one of every colored paper off the wall.
"So what? we can write your name ideas on the backs and mail them into the store."
He seemed so happy he couldn't contain the smile on his face
"There has to be at least fifty colors here!"
"At least." Katniss echoed
"Let's do it."Peeta smiled at her, she was so proud to convince him to do this.
After a hug, they both started looking at their next target. Painting the bathroom.
