Katniss pov

I finished helping my mother with her concoction of herbs to give gale. I walked back over to him and laced our hands together. "Hey catnip" he whispered with his eyes still closed. "Hey" I said. My mother came over with the mixture we created earlier. Gale drank it. I went to put the cup away and go to my bed. On my way back I bumped into gale. "Going to bed?" He asked. "Yeah". I replied. He pulled me in for a hug. "Feel better" I said. "Ok. Get some sleep" he said. We stopped hugging but gales hands were still on my waist. I smiled at him. It was a genuine smile that reached my eyes. He smiled back, but not like usual. His features looked tiered and empty. I hugged him again. My arms were tightly wrapped around his waist. "Goodnight" he said. "Goodnight" I said back as I walked to my room. Gale was my friend, my best friend in fact, but nothing more. But that hug, it felt perfect. We fit together like a puzzle. "Your delusional" I thought to myself. Even if I did love gale, every girl in the seam wanted to be with him. There was no way he would pick me over a beautiful girl who was older than me. Oh well.
