Katniss's POV

Three years later...

(Present Day)

"Good morning," He gives me a kiss on the lips.

"Morning," I give him a warm smile.

"What's that?" He motions towards a frying pan.

"That was bacon and eggs," I mutter.

"Looks like the neighbor's dog shit," He laughs.

"GALE!" I yell and smack him with the greasy spatula.

"Take a joke much, Catnip?" He laughs." Throw that out, we'll get something edible on the way to work."

I frown but nod.

"Sounds like a plan," I agree.

"Where's Rex?" He asks.

"Gale, you could care less about rex," I point out.

Gale and I rescued rex, a golden retriever, from a shelter about a year ago. Ever since we bought him home, he and Gale have never gotten along. It's the same thing with the people around him. He doesn't like anyone.

"He's family," He says.

I laugh and say," Babe, he nearly bit your ass off two days ago."

Two days ago, Gale and I were walking Rex around the park. When I had to tie my shoe, I gave Gale the leash.

As soon as I started tying my shoe, Rex starting growling and barking at Gale. Somehow, Rex ended up behind Gale and would've bit Gale's ass if I hadn't yelled at Rex to stop.

" He was just playing," He says as his face grows red.

"Right," I bite my lip to keep me from laugh.

"Come here," He grabs my hip and pulls me closer to him." Do you remember-"

"The day you threw up on me because you drank too-" I begin.

"No, our fifth date," He laughs.

"Oh," I say.

Two years ago, Gale and I started dating. I was hesitant at first but my sister, Prim, told me that he wasn't coming back since it had been a year and a number of months. She said he probably found someone else already.

So I went on the date and I ended up having a lot of fun. After the first date, we started having more dates. A year or so later, I moved in with him. Five months later, Gale asked me to marry him and I said yes.

We have a great relationship but I can't help but feel that something is missing. Maybe it's the need to get married.

"Gale, work," I snap out my thoughts and playfully push him.

"You too, Mrs. Hawthorne," He reminds me as he brings my hand with an engagement ring to his lips.

"In three weeks," I remind him.
