Over the next few weeks, things are better. Peeta hasn't spent the night in his own house since my episode. He comes and goes during the day just as I do but he seems too scared to leave me alone during the night. The nightmares still come but they are not as frequent and when they do come I wake up to Peeta's warm arms holding me tightly, letting me know that I'm not alone. His nightmares seem to calm down as well. He doesn't scream like I do but he thrashes around, kicking and waving his arms, moaning.

One night when both our nightmares are particularly bad and can't sleep, he says to me: "We're better together, aren't we?"

"What do you mean?" I reply.

"Well ever since that night when you got really upset, you been happier. I can tell. I've definitely been." His smile beams down at me. "I'm starting to feel as if, I'm maybe getting a little better. A few nights ago I had dream, about us. A good dream. We were up on the training centre roof and I was playing with your hair and we watched the sun set."

Astounded, I reply. "Peeta! That wasn't a dream! That was a memory! You are getting better!"

"Doctor Aurelius told me the last time I spoke with him that familiar experiences could bring back my memories. It must be spending all this time with you that is making me better." He exclaims.

In that moment I think of something that might help Peeta even more. But it could possibly give him the wrong idea about what is going on between us. So I dismiss the thought but just as I do, the idea seems to have came to Peeta.

"I just want to try something. For experimental purposes?" he says warily.

"If you think it would help?" I reply.

He leans in and kisses me. It's the happiest I've felt in months, since that night on the beach. The hunger that was there before comes over me again. I realise how much I actually have missed Peeta, his comforting presence. Surely this will make him remember?

He stops and moves away. I say "Well? Anything?"

"Nope but the memories don't come straight away. Let's wait till morning." He suggests.

"Ok, goodnight Peeta."

"Goodnight Katniss. Sweet dreams."
