"I agree Mr. Mellark" I say with a cheeky smile. I glance down to his hands where three rolls are held. A large, but, normal white one, and the same shaped and size one but in brown, both sprinkled with flour. However, the last one was different, it was platted and covered in black poppy seeds. Usually, I get the White and brown roll daily. I must have been studying the plated roll for a time before Peeta broke my stare "I see you've spotted my new type of roll?" He beamed quite proudly. "It's a poppy seed roll, I used wholemeal wheat, but, I platted it instead of just rolling it. Your hair was the inspiration" I chuckled as he picked up the end of my platted hair and brushed it against my nose like he was painting one of his paintings. "Thank you Peeta, I will look forward to trying my hair dipped in one of Greasy Sae's dog soup" I say while he passes the breads into my hand "Any time Miss Everdeen"

The roll was amazing, the soft wholemeal bread contrasted the crunchy poppy seeds well, and, somehow, the plat made it even more appetising, maybe because I was the inspiration. I decide to visit Peeta and tell him my opinion of his bread.

I knock on the door three times; no answer. I try one more time, again, no answer. I guess he must be out, maybe getting flour or other baking supplies. Then, out of no where, worry hits me. Peeta gets that stuff delivered. "Peeta!" I shout. Staring at the welcome mat I wait for a reply for minutes that seemed like hours; no answer. I hesitate over the door, open or leave and come back later? In other words, be brave or let him die. I'm over thinking it, he's probably fine, but what if I'm wrong? Suddenly I open the door with my heart pumping faster and faster and faster.
