"They want us to end our relationships?" I ask her.
"They don't want us to look weak."
"Are you kidding me?
"I wish." she whispered.
"Does the Capital know?"
"About our relationships? Yeah. That's why we were chosen. They somehow fucked with the Reaping."
"WHAT?"
"My parents were together when they were both eighteen. They were both reaped. I was only four months old and my mother died in the arena. The women always die in the relationships in the Games."
Glimmer.
Not my Glimmer.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because you deserve to know."
She walked away and Glimmer came over.
I told her everything.
She almost started to cry.
"Glim." I warn.
She started to blink back the tears.
"Hey Glimmer!" Cato yelled.
She rolled her eyes and gave me a 'Get me the hell out of here' look.
"Yes, Cato?"
"Lets go for a walk."
She smiled.
"Yes. Let's do this."
Then it hit me.
Cato knew.
He's not wanting this either.
He has Clove.
And I still have my Glimmer.
For now at least.
