I watch as Katniss lays in my arms, her head in the hollow of my neck where my neck and shoulder meet, her soft snores creating a warm blow of air on my skin as she breathes gently.
I'm glad that she's having a nap, especially after last night's nightmare, it took me almost an hour to get her settled back down and another half hour convincing her that we weren't back in the arena watching as Snow tortured and killed our biological families and our makeshift family right in front of us.
"Peeta," I hear Katniss say in her sleep, a smile in her voice. "I love you." She says. The smile on my face widens when I hear those three words coming from her mouth.
"I love you too, My Huntress." I whisper in her ear softly as she shifts closer to me in her sleep, my arms automatically tighten around her ever so slightly. I feel my own eyes getting heavy as I lean my head on top of hers as she moves from my neck to my chest.
I fall asleep with my Girl on Fire in my arms, my heartbeat thumping in her ear.
