Could you please post a sneak peek of the next chapter of Deep In The Meadow?
For sure! Also I'm realllllllly hoping to be able to post this chapter some time this weekend. I fell down a rabbit hole because they were reminiscing about their first date, then I remembered that the first date scene isn't fully canon compliant anymore so I needed to go back and take a look at that and then I started working on updating the canon and it all just got away from me. Anyway! Here's the beginning of the next chapter 😘
On the morning of our fifteenth wedding anniversary, Peeta wakes up with a startle to find me sitting on the edge of the bed, fully dressed, looking down at him.
“Again, I say, one of these days I’m going to put a cat bell on you,” he huffs, taking a deep breath to try and resume his normal heart rate.
“Happy anniversary,” I say, leaning down to kiss him. He tries to keep me there, but I quickly pull back. “Get up. We’re going to the lake,” I say.
Peeta frowns up at me. “Do you mean a different, closer lake that doesn’t require eight hours of hiking?” he asks.
“No, I mean our lake. It’s our anniversary,” I remind him.
“Yes, I know that, but Katniss, are you sure…?”
“Get dressed, we’re leaving in ten minutes,” I say definitively, before turning on my heel and waddling down the stairs.
