The Final Letter to Finnick
'Dear Finnick
I told him about you today. It was his fourteenth birthday and it seemed fitting so I told him our story. How you won the Hunger Games and came out back to District Four. How we first meet on the beach that night. Do you remember that? It feels like another lifetime ago. The smell on the beach, the sand, your hand in mine. Then I told him of what President Snow forced you to do! How much you hated it and how much I hated him for making you do it. Then I moved on to my Games. It was hard but I told him everything, including Andy. He wiped my tears for me, just as you used to do. Then I told him of the lonely times I spent in District Four, waiting for you to return. Counting down the days. Then it went on to the Quarter Quell, how Mags volunteered for me and died. How you survived. How I was taken from the Capitol and tortured. But then when I came back and we were finally reunited. How we had so many happy times before you had to go again though this time you didn't come back!
He thought that we were both very brave. He said he misses you. He's growing up fast though Finnick, he's fourteen. Can you believe that? That means you've been gone for all that time. He's got a girlfriend now, though I worry that soon he'll leave home and I'll be left alone. Maybe the nightmares will come, maybe the worst will come, but it can't be the worst if it means that I'll be back with you Finnick. I'm getting on and soon we'll be together. I hope you haven't given up on me because I still haven't given up on you. Keep waiting, for me.
All my love,
Annie xxxxxxxxxxxx'
