No copyright infringement intended. The Hunger Games belongs to Suzanne Collins. Not me. Clearly.

Peeta stays with me until late, wrapped up in the afghan on the couch with me, watching television. They're interviewing Finnick and Annie, who have gone to the Capitol to promote our cause. Finnick has played no small part in the rebel effort, and the revolution is still a hot topic, it being so recent and all.

Annie and Finnick are sitting on a velvet, dark green love seat with Caesar Flickerman. Even though he was a huge part of the Games, no one ever came to hate him. He tried his best to make all the Tributes look good, and during the post-war investigations, no one could find any dirt on Caesar that could lead to his arrest. Sure, he worked for the Capitol, but he never helped oppress anyone. Besides, it's not like anyone really wanted to see him executed.

Caesar's still got his made-for-TV personality, shining like a bright star amidst a blurry sea of people. Annie's got her knees tucked against her chest, and Finnick's arms encircle her, as if to shield her from the world. I don't know why anyone would include Annie in this interview, other than for the obvious reason - everyone always wants to see the happy couple.

Finnick looks clean, in a simple white T-shirt and khakis, and Annie in a dainty little sea-foam green dress that looks so Annie it's not even funny.

Peeta and I are watching the interview somewhat absently when Caesar queries, "So, what do you think about Peeta and Katniss' big wedding?"

Annie, by this point, is almost completely distracted. Her eyes are distant. Any viewer can tells she's teleported into her own little world again, and Finnick is doing nothing to bring her back. I think it's sweet, that he leaves her be, not wanting to push her too much. Having her appear on television is a miracle in itself.

Finnick smiles, but the turn of his lips has a sad note to it. "I'm elated for them, really - don't get me wrong - but there's something about this marriage that doesn't sit well with me."

Now this, this has finally gotten Peeta's attention.

Caesar looks confused. "I, for one, think they are absolutely perfect for each other. But I'm sure you have your reasons, Finnick."

Finnick shrugs, looking a little unsure. Almost as if Annie can sense her beloved's tenseness, she awakens from her conscious slumber.

Then, at last, Finnick answers, "It's not that I don't think they belong together. No, definitely not that. But I have a creeping sense of dread - for whenever Katniss finds happiness, it's always whisked away from her grasp."
