When Peeta finally proposed to Katniss, it was a cold winters night in early December. As had become their usual arrangement, Peeta was staying over at Katniss’ house. They were sitting on the plush couch in the warm glow of the fire. Peeta looked into Katniss’ eyes for a moment, then said simply; “Katniss Everdeen, will you marry me?” revealing a ring with gleaming pearl set into the silver band.
“Is that...?” Katniss asked.
“The Pearl from the Quarter Quell? Yes.”
Katniss remembered that night, when Peeta had first given her the pearl, and how she thought that it would be the last that they would spend together. And then she saw their whole lives ahead of them. All of the hardships that they had overcome, all of the challenges that they’d faced; that was over now. They had their future to look forward to now. “Yes,” she whispered, “yes.” Peeta’s eyes lit up as he slipped the ring onto her finger. “You know, if you put enough pressure on coal, it turns into pearls.” Katniss said, looking at her ring.
“I’ve heard.” Peeta replied; and Katniss sank into his arms, not looking back, but forward, into the future, into the place where nothing could pull them apart again.
