The games changed you in ways that you could never understand. Something that Bree learned the hard way. After being forced to participate in the 69th annual Hung...

Katniss and Peeta sat next to each other on the sofa as Haymitch told them about their competition for the hunger games.
"Finnick Odair, right?" Katniss asked as his smiling face appeared on the screen.
"Yes. He won his Games at 14." Haymitch agreed, "youngest ever. Extremely humble."
"You're kidding," Katniss asked, not believing Haymitch.
"Yes, I'm kidding. He's a peacock. A total preener." Haymitch told them, "But he's The Capitol darling. They love him here. Charming, smart, and very skilled at combat. Especially in water."
"What about weaknesses?" Peeta asked, leaning forward.
"Two. Bree and Mags." Haymitch told them. "Bree is his wife. She is also in the games. If you hurt her, he will stop at nothing to hunt you down, so I would recommend avoiding that. Mags volunteered for Annie. Mags was his mentor and basically raised him. If he's trying to protect them in any way, it exposes him."
"A guy like that has to know Mag's is not gonna make it." Katniss told Haymitch, "I bet when it really comes down to it, he won't protect her."
"Well, Katniss, I just hope when she goes, she goes quickly." Haymitch told Katniss as they watched Finnick hug Mags, "She's actually a wonderful lady."
Haymitch then moved on to the District 5 tributes, "Finnick's wife," Haymitch told them as he pointed to Bree. "Lovely women, she gave up the opportunity to be a part of the Career Pack to look after the youngest tributes in that batch."
"Why would she do that?" Katniss asked incredulously.
"Because as I said, she is lovely women. The capital love her. She is the sweetheart of the capital. She and Finnick are a complete power couple and, unlike you and Peeta, are actually completely in love with each other. The male tribute is Willem Knight. He is old and a bit of reclose. He volunteered for Lyasnader Wyatt, who has a young family."

Bree walked out of the changing rooms. She could see Peter also heading in the same direction a couple of paces in front of her.
"Peeta," Bree called out, "want to walk with me?"
Peeta froze in his movements, not quite sure what to expect.
"I hope you don't mind," Bree told him as she looped her arm through his, "I won't be offended if you ask me to go away. I figured it might be a bit intimidating walking in there by yourself."
Peeta said nothing as they started to walk again together. He was beginning to realize what Haymitch meant when he said that she was lovely.
"How did you and Finnick meet?" Peeta asked, partly wanting to know Bree more and partly because he didn't like the silence.
