Dearest Sable,

I cannot tell you how happy it makes me that you replied to my vicious letter. You are right, my grief makes me say things which I otherwise would not have the confidence, or heart, to confess. Now that you seem to be more invested in discovering the truth about the Capitol though, I feel I can trust you with the whereabouts of my hiding place. Though it is not my safety I am concerned for, but my companion's. Cillian is alive. About a fortnight after his sector was bombed he wrote to me anonymously, asking for me to meet him somewhere. I obliged, and when I cleared the path to our waterfall, he scooped me in his arms and hugged me until I thought the world would fall in around us. He apologised profusely and told me everything. How he had barely escaped with his life but didn't feel it was safe to contact me until then and how he needed to heal first. So I have told you my secret of many weeks. You can find me 3 strides past our tree in the sun.

Love,

Gillenia
