I couldn’t help it. I just couldn’t get her off my mind.
Her strawberry blonde hair blowing in the wind, the slight curve of her lips, the twinkle in her eyes when she smiles, the feel of her lips against mine…
I shouldn’t have kissed her.
I can’t say that I regret it though.
Kissing Madge wasn’t like kissing Katniss. There wasn’t any fire, so to speak, or guilt. I don’t know how to describe it. The feel of her soft full lips, her warm breath, the shape of her face cupped in my hand… As much as I enjoyed it, it shouldn’t have happened. It will only cause the both of us more pain.
I can’t fall for Madge. No, not now. We’re not meant to be together.
I’ve already said goodbye to Katniss. Even if she does come back, she’ll still love Peeta more than me. I can’t compete with him. So I’ve moved on. But I can’t fall for Madge now. I can’t afford to lose someone else I love.
If only we didn’t live in a place like this.
Then I could actually get what I wanted for once.
