Guess Delly was too popular to sit with Katniss and Madge at lunch, but I want her and Madge to bond over her. Got those gal pal vibes. In fact, Katniss used to think about how all the girls wanted Gale (derogatory), but according to Delly, everyone wanted Katniss, too.

Peeta wasn't unique, is my other takeaway here. Under different circumstances, Katniss could have been friends or in a relationship with anyone brave enough to make a move. Peeta just got lucky that the Reaping made that move for him.

     “I was a monster.”

     “A monster, a maiden, a sylph of the ice. You kissed me, whispered stories in my ear. You sang to me and held me as I slept. Your laugh chased me into waking.”

     “You always hated my laugh.”

     “I loved your laugh, Nina. And your fierce warrior's heart. I might have loved you, too.”

     Might have. Once. Before she had betrayed him. Those words carved an ache into her chest.

     She knew she shouldn't speak, but she couldn't help herself. “And what did you do, Matthias?” What did you do to me in your dreams?”

     The ship listed gently. The lanterns swayed. His eyes were blue fire. “Everything,” he said, as he turned to go. “Everything.”
