"I was worried about you, y'know." Finnick said as he helped the girl remove the sticky, red substance from her hair.
Adrienne smiled, nodding. "I know."
"Every hour that passed...every cannon I heard..." She could hear his voice break and she felt her heart quench. He took a deep breath. "I thought I'd lose you. And I couldn't go through that again. Not after what happened with..."
The girl spun around, placing her hands on his cheeks. "I know, baby." She said, rubbing her thumb across his cheek. "I know."
Finnick just gave her a weak smile and leaned forwards, placing his forehead against hers. "I love you so much."
"I love you, too." Adrienne said with a small smile.
Little did the couple know that, just a little ways away, as she was talking with the angered girl from District Seven, Katniss was watching the couple with curiosity in her eyes.
"What's their story?" She asked, causing Johanna to look up at her. When the girl did so, Katniss nodded her head towards the two.
Johanna glanced over at them before sighing, turning back to start cleaning her axe. "He was her mentor during her Games. Was really the only one who thought she actually had a chance; was practically beating himself up while she was in the arena."
"You were there?" The brunette questioned.
"No, but Finnick has told me enough about it for me to get a good visual." Johanna said. "We victors are pretty close; well, usually. But, anyways, when she got out of the Games, the two of them got the same treatment as the rest of us 'desirable' folk."
"And what is that?"
Before she could answer, Wiress gasped from the cold water being splashed against her hair. "Tick tock."
Johanna groaned. "I can't." The girl started walking back towards the beach, waving a dismissive hand in their direction. "Have fun with nuts."
"Tick tock."
Realization seemed to strike Katniss as she looked around the arena. "Tick tock." She repeated. "It's a clock. It's a clock." She smiled as she hoisted the woman to her feet. "Wiress, you're a genius!"
This caused the District Four couple to turn their head towards the two women, who they saw had their hands on each other's cheeks and smiles on their faces.
"You're a genius!"
