Training seemed to pass in the blink of an eye and, before they knew it, the interviews had came around. Much to the girl's surprise, however, Serin wasn't there to greet her with his usual smile. Instead, it was Cinna, who wore a serious look as he held up her dress.

She walked over to him and ran her fingers down the thin and soft fabric. "Where is he? Serin?"

"Elsewhere." Was all Cinna said, and Adrienne knew that it was all he could say.

The stylist helped the blonde girl into the dress, which was a light and delicate shade of seafoam blue. Despite everything being in a held together outfit, as Adrienne looked in the mirror, she could help cut acknowledge how it only looked like a giant sash that was wrapped around her body.

There was a strap that held it up, only going from the collar around her neck to her shoulder before cascading down over her chest. Her side was exposed, but the sash like dress came back and covered her waist down until her upper thigh. Thin, lace-like fabric acted as a train for the dress, making it flow all the way to the floor.

"It's beautiful, Cinna." The girl said, smiling at him through the mirror, which she found she always did.

"It's a Serin original." He told her with a smile.

The girl lowered her voice as she spoke again, not trusting the Peacekeepers that stood on the other side of the door. "He's not coming back, is he?"

"You'll see him soon." We all the man said before he applied his finishing touches to the girl's hair, which was pulled up into a curled ponytail.

When he was done, Cinna said his goodbyes before leaving to help his own tribute get ready for the interview. Adrienne sighed as she took one last look in the mirror before walking out into the hallway.

She approached the tributes who were already starting to line up; mainly from the first five districts, seeing as they had their interviews sooner. However, Finnick was nowhere in sight.

That is, until Adrienne felt strong arms wrapped around her waist. She giggled as the boy pulled her against his chest, placing a gentle kiss to the side of her neck.

"You look...incredible, my love." He said between kissed before he stood up straight, allowing the girl to turn and face him.

"As do you, Mr. Odair." She said, fixing his hair a little bit. "A little messy, but amazing."

Before he could answer her, the familiar voice of Panem's biggest television star echoed throughout the area, followed by the los applause of the audience. She watched as Cashmere and Gloss exited backstage and into a hallway for their interview.

Now or never. Adrienne thought you herself.
