"We have him," Boggs says. "Do you want to see him?"

"Yes, definitely yes," I nod. My body is shaking and trembling with fear, yet I feel ecstatic as we walk to the hospital room. He opens a door and I anxiously go in. This is the moment I've been waiting for. The moment where I can finally see him again since the Quarter Quell.

"Peeta," I gasp after I see the love of my life sitting on a bed across the room.

He stands up and silently dashes into my arms. I hug his frame tightly and sob onto his shoulder. We're the only people in the room because Boggs left, which I feel thankful for. It's good to be alone.

"I never thought I'd see you again," he cries into my hair. "I love you so much."

I stand on my toes and kiss him; I haven't kissed his soft lips in forever.

After we pull away, he rests his forehead against mine. "I'm so sorry," I whisper. "I'm so, so sorry."

He kisses my forehead and sits down on the bed with me on his lap, "I never want to leave you. I'll stay right here with you, okay?"

I nod and stroke his hair, "I can't live without you."

"I know, me too."

"How have you been all this time? I need details," I sit up in the bed, crossing my legs.

"It's quite a long story, as you know. What have they told you?"

"That you were held captive in the Capitol. I mean, I've known that from all the interviews."

"I was starved a lot. Got dehydrated because they rarely gave me water and I never really got a shower much," Peeta shakes his head, "But now I'm here. So when I was in the arena, and you were taken away, I was watching you. Finnick and Beetee and I didn't know what to do until Johanna came back and said that she had lost you. So we were all left alone, thinking about what to do."

I nod.

"Then, a hovercraft got Finnick and Beetee, and Johanna and I were crowned victors. Then they took us out and put us in separate cells. They beat her up and tortured her until they brought her here with me. They just fed her more. I was the one who was starved."

"Oh my god," I sigh and take him in another hug. "I should've never gone with Johanna. We should have reasoned or something. You could've died."

"Hey, it's okay. All that matters is that you're good and I'm good now, okay?" He says encouragingly.

"Whatever," I cross my arms and frown.

"There's that scowl again," he chuckles and pats my knee.

"We should do something," he says, "I honestly don't know what to do because we're stuck in an underground hideout but let's do something."

"Okay," I stand up. He rises from the bed and takes my hand.

"At least take a walk," he smiles.

"Okay, whatever you say, Lover Boy," I tease and swing our hands back and forth.

We come to the currently empty cafeteria and sit at a table next to each other.

"I'm hungry," He mumbles.

"I wouldn't be surprised," I pat his incredibly flat stomach. "I'll go find something."

"Okay," he replies while I walk into the kitchen where some cooks are preparing the next meal.

"Hello, Miss Everdeen," an old lady smiles.

"Hi," I smile back. "Peeta Mellark and I would like something to eat, please. Just whatever you have would be fine."

She kindly nods. "You can get some sandwiches from the fridge there."

"Thank you," I flash a small smile before I reach into the massive refrigerator to get three turkey sandwiches — two for Peeta.

I make my way back to our table, sit down, and hand him his food.

"Thanks," he flashes a small grin in appreciation and bites into his meal. We quickly eat and go back to my room.

"I want to stay here with you," he says and cuddles into me.

"Mhm, alright," I murmur tiredly before falling asleep. Hopefully Peeta and I can finally get our life back on track.
