I stare down at my hands. She probably hates me for what I said to her. I don't know why I did. My tent opens and I look up to see Katniss.
"I've got something for you." She says. She holds out a chain. On it is my beautiful wife's ring. I take it and lace my fingers through the chain.
"This doesn't mean..." I trail off. Katniss shakes her head.
"She wants you to have something to remember her by. She wants you to have a little piece of home with you." Katniss smiles. I slip the chain around my neck and tuck it into my shirt. It's well hidden and the ring settles of the middle of my chest. I smile despite myself.
"What if she hates me Katniss?" I ask. It's agonizing not being able to run to her and pull her into my arms.
"Well did you hit her?" She asks gently. A rush of anger runs through me. I can't believe Katniss thinks I would hit her.
"Why the hell would I ever hit her? I'm not her mother!" I snap.
"Gale she still loves you and she definitely doesn't hate you." Katniss promises.
"How can you be so sure?" I ask.
"Because I know Sam. She's more likely to hate the rest of the world before she hates you. You didn't see her when you got whipped but Peeta had to hold her back and pass her to one of her other brothers who had to drag her away from you. She was ready to move mountains to save you. She just about broke down a door trying to escape." She says. I can't help but smile. It's just like her to do something like that.
"What happened?" I ask.
"She eventually broke the window and climbed out through it. She got to my house first and warned my mom. Prim and my mom were ready for you. I'm sure you remember what happened next." She says.
"I woke up and She was there holding onto my hand. She refused to move. The next morning I finally realized she was covered in cuts I suppose from glass and I insisted your mom take care of her too." I smile. The cut on her cheek had scarred slightly and fit in with the other scars on her body. I sigh and stand stretching. "We should get to the briefing."
"Yeah." Katniss agrees. "Just don't ever worry about her not loving you."
"I won't." I promise. I glance at the photo of us on my nightstand. "I'll be back to her and the little one in no time."
"Back in no time." Katniss agrees. She smiles and we leave the tent quickly.
