Katniss's POV

I sit in the woods, early in the morning. I woke up from a nightmare and couldn't sleep, so I came out here. It's the place where I used to long to be. I stare up at the sky, leaning against a tree stump. I get a flashback to the games that happened so many years ago. I dig my fingers into the dirt, fighting the dream. There's a rustle in the leaves and I snap out of it, whipping around. I peer through the leaves and see a man with dark hair and broad shoulders.

"Who's there?" I hear him demand.

"Katniss," I stand up. "Don't shoot."

"Katniss?" He stares at me. "Katniss Everdeen?"

"Yes," I walk up to the man, suddenly recognizing him. "Gale?"

"Oh, I've missed you," He hugs me and spins me around. "It's been forever."

"How've you been?" I smile, brushing his hair away from his eyes.

"Great," He looks down at me, smiling. "And you?"

"Pretty good," I look away, back towards District 12, thinking back to all those years when this meeting would've been routine.

"I can't believe I ran into you," He tucks my hair behind my ear.

"It's pretty insane," I blush as all those old feelings for him return. "I've missed you so much…"

He wraps his arms around me. "How's my district been?"

"Your district?" I ask. "I thought your district was District 2."

"I love it here so much more," He looks down into my brown eyes and kisses me.

I fall under his spell as we dance around the forest.
