What if?
What if this is real? What if Peeta has done this all for me? What if this beautiful picnic before the sunset is real? What if once again I am proved right in saying that he is too good for me? What if I need to stop saying that and be happy that he has done such a wonderful thing for me?
What if? What if? What if....

We sit together on the picnic blanket and watch the sky turn different shades of orange as the sun goes down. After a while he pulls me into his arms. I breath out softly
"It's beautiful"
He replies quietly
"Yeah, it is"
Finally the sun goes down, the orange sky slowly fading into the night sky and the stars revealing themselves. Peeta opens a picnic basket beside him and pulls out a bowl filled with chocolate covered strawberries.
I laugh, mostly with disbelief. I tell him

"Now you"

"That is good"

"What are you thinking about?"
I reply truthfully, knowing that Peeta Mellark can easily tell when I am lying and when I'm not
"About how I don't deserve you"
His eyes look into mine deeply, the silence making it even harder not to look away. Eventually after what feels like an eternity of looking into his bright blue iris' he says
