Never In Your Favor - Finnick Odair
"Do you remember what I said about you the day of the reaping?"
Finnick nodded.
"I genuinely believed every word-"
"I know you did," He smiled thoughtfully, "I've never heard you say a single thing that felt scripted. You always just- say what you want to. What you're thinking I've always enjoyed that about you."
"Except I don't Finnick," Kaianna scoffed, "not always anyway."
"And not right now." He corrected.
"Not right now," Kaianna agreed. Her green eyes shined with an emotion that Finnick recognized immediately, from feeling it himself. They understood what each other were feeling, and exactly what was being said without words. Which was good, considering neither of them had the guts to say it out loud, "probably not ever."
"That's not true." He smiled knowingly.
"The point is," Kaianna dodged his belief easily, "my view on you is starting to change. I've been able to see you from a different perspective, and I never would've let that happen on my own."
"I believe that." He chuckled.
"Don't take it personally," She shrugged. When she looked in his eyes, she knew he somehow didn't understand where she was coming from, "everyone I've ever loved, has been stolen from me. To get to know someone, is to let yourself care about them, and all that does, is put them in danger. In my experience at least."
