Chapter 1:

I sit down on the edge of my bed and shiver all over. Peeta is back and he's done something that highjacked Peeta probably would never have done. He remembered Primrose. Prim. Just her name makes tears flood to my eyes. I slap at them angrily. I have survived the hunger games, twice. I have survived a rebellion. I have survived the loss of almost everyone I loved. Now I can't get emotional. I feel scratchy fur rub against my leg. I look down and see Buttercup. I smile weakly and reach down to scratch him behind the ears. He meows rustily. "I might have my Peeta back," I whispered to Buttercup. He purrs grumpily. I look out the window and see Peeta patting down the soil around the plant. He looks up at me and smiles gently.  My heart beats in a crazy rhythm. Tears spring to my eyes again, but this time I don't care. Because that's how my heart beat the last time I was truly with Peeta. He's making my heart beat like he did when he gave me my pearl. Just like before the highjacking.
