Dear Katniss

Dear Peeta (23)

Dear Just Peeta,

I want you to be happy but I'm afraid your mother doesn't think like I do. I can't trust sending letters in case she rips them up. Maybe we should stop writing for a month or so until things settle down. I care about you Peeta, that's why I don't want you to get hurt. I'm going on a hike up in the falls sometime this week, if you want I can send a picture with this letter of the waterfall. Maybe sometimes you can pretend you're there with me.

I can't get sick of you Peeta. It's not because I feel sympathy for you and feel like I'm helping you in some way by writing to you, maybe I am, but I don't sympathise for you. I would never do that to you. This is a genuine friendship, and I just can't afford it to end yet.

From Just Katniss
