~ peetas perspective ~
I hated being in district 11, and I knew katniss would hate me for being here longer than just for picking up the pills, I knew after about a week she'd been feeding them to the cat so it was quite an ordeal going searching for a cat friendly version. I decided on catnip pills as a substitute. But that wasn't what I was really here for..
District 11 was so different from home. It was very relaxed, with not a drop of capitol in sight. The people where ordinary and it brought a sense of old home back to me. It reminded me of the early days when I gave katniss that bread. The good old days.. I wish she would come see it but I knew there was about a 2% chance she would ever leave 12.

I stopped by a couple stores, including a jewelers. Was it to early? I don't know man. Maybe another time..
my brain was talking for itself and all of a sudden I was in the store purchasing a ring with a yellow citrine stone in the middle. Prims favorite colour. Now or never peeta, now or never.
I repeated those words constantly as I walked from the jewelers to the train point, from the train point to twelve, through downtown twelve and all the way home. Where I saw a slightly solemned katniss sat on the front steps. I knew what she was going to say. I could see it across her face. I just knew it...
