Peeta's POV
We sat in silence again. I didn't know if she still wanted me here, because I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable. I stopped touching her hair and couldn't get myself to look at Katniss.
"Don't act differently from what I said, Peeta," Katniss grunted. I turned to face her.
What was she suggesting?
"Do you want to go somewhere else?" I asked cautiously. Someday, she had said. This year. I could speed that up.
Katniss smiled and nodded. I went up and opened the door for Katniss. Rye and Wheat had attended the Academy before me, so I visited sometimes and found a lo of nice, private places. Since Katniss liked nature and outdoorsy stuff, I knew just the place. Halfway through the stairs leading into the roof, Katniss stopped dead in her tracks. I whipped my head around to see what happened. She was holding her hand out to me, giving me the smallest of smiles.
I took it automatically and gave her a squeeze.
"The sun is always shining when you're here, Peeta. Don't ever let go."
I can't bring myself to write long chapters. I'm sorry!
I will work extra hard to make next chapter loooong.
