I watch Rose frolick in the sunlight as her light brown hair gleams as she skips around the meadow. I laugh and call her over "Rose! Honey, could you come here a second!" I ask. She comes bounding over and says "yes mommy?" In her sweet little girl voice. I say to her "Rose, do you see those dandilions over there?" She squints into the sunlight and replies "yeah!" "Could you go pick some for me?" I ask her. She doesn't even respond and goes dashing over to the dandilions. Then I see a figure moving at the edge of the meadow. I realize uits Gale. "Gale!" I shout. He waves. I half run half walk into his arms and breathe in his scent. Rose squeals and practically screams "Uncle Gale!" She drops the dandilions and comes sprinting over into gales arms. He asks "have you been a good girl since the last I've seen you?" She replies "yes! Mommy took me to this meadow almost everyday now! I like it! And sometimes daddy comes along, and I get to ride on his shoulders!" She gigges. Gale says "oh do you now? That's wonderful! Where is your father?" I reply "he's at the bakery." Peeta works at the bakery long hours. Rose loves the meadow so we go almost everyday exept for weekends to it while peeta is working. Gale scratches his brow, then says "I better get going" Rose says "okay Uncle Gale bye bye" she hugs his leg and runs off. He waves. "Bye katniss" he says. We embrace and then he walks away in the direction of the woods. His figure dissolves in the shadows.
