The train sways beneath us as it speeds along down the tracks. I open my eyes and peek out the window over Peeta's shoulder to see its early afternoon. I can't believe we slept so long, uninterrupted by nightmares. My muscles are stiff and I start to realize that we didn't move at all last night. My dress is crumpled and half of my hair has fallen out of its braid. I look up at Peeta and can't help but smile. He looks so peaceful when he sleeps. I gently kiss him and try to wiggle my way under his arm without waking him.

I tip toe over to the closet and grab the first things I find before I head to the bathroom. The warm water of the shower feels good against my skin and I almost have to drag myself out. I dress in warm black pants and a blue sweater that almost exactly matches the color of Peeta's eyes. I braid my hair over my shoulder today and have to laugh when I catch myself wondering if Peeta will like it.

"Good morning." Peeta whispers from the doorway and I almost jump out of my patchwork skin. He's getting really good at walking quietly. That or I've been too caught up in my thoughts lately.

"Good morning, sleepy." I laugh as he rubs his eyes and joins me at the sink. "How did you sleep?"

"Wonderfully." Peeta wraps his arms around me and gives me a long kiss.

I turn on the faucet and hand him his toothbrush.

"That bad?"

"A little." I laugh. "Do you think we woke up in time for lunch?"

"I hope so, I'm starving."

After ten minutes of showering Peeta with kisses in hopes of motivating him to get ready faster we're finally headed to the dining car hand in hand. A delicious smell wafts toward us and we can hear Effie scolding Haymitch about keeping his elbows off the table. We push open the door and Peeta holds my chair for me.

"I'll be right back." Peeta whispers in my ear and disappears back through the door. I ignore Effie and Haymitch throwing nasty looks at each other and load my plate with batter cakes and slices of ham. Peeta takes quite a few minutes to come back, but when he does he just sits down beside me and starts filling his plate.

"Where have you been?" I ask through a mouthful of food.

"I just forgot something." He says, not meeting my eyes. I glare at him suspiciously, but he probably just went to move the sketchbook to some new hiding spot. Although, I haven't had five minutes to go and hunt it down.

"So Effie, where to next?" Peeta asks as he fills his plate.

"Back to District Twelve, the reunion went as well as we could have hoped and now you're all free to go back to doing whatever you please."

We finish our meal in silence and I'm just starting to excuse myself when Peeta gets to his feet.

"If everyone could just stay a minute, I have something important I want to say." Peeta fidgets his hands nervously and I can't even begin to imagine what this is about. "You've all been my family these past three years and now you're all the family I have. All of you mean so much to me and I will always be grateful for what you've done for me. I can't imagine any other people who I would want to share this moment with." He turns to me and my heart starts racing. "Katniss, I love you very, very much." Peeta bends down on one knee and I swear I'm about to run out of the room or faint. Maybe both. "Even with all that's happened I still think my name being reaped was the best piece of luck I ever had, because it brought me to you." He pulls a ring out of his pocket. A simple silver band with my pearl set inside, I can't imagine how he ever got it. "Now that I have you I never want to let you go. I want to spend every day of the rest of my life right beside you. Will you marry me?"

For a few seconds I don't think I'm going to be able to speak at all. Finally I'm able to choke out "Yes." It seems insufficient, but it's all I can manage right now. He slips the ring on my left hand and throws his arms around me. Within seconds we're all crying, laughing, and hugging each other. Well not Haymitch. He gives us each a small hug and claims the moisture in his eyes is from him biting his tongue.
