How had she met Sokka initially? It had been some time ago, while Peeta had still been here. He had just become one of the givens of this place, of her life here. Just like Zevran or Rapunzel or any of those others she had known for the good part of a year. When the memory did come to her, it was with a slow smile crossing her face.

The canoe. She had been hunting and had seen him with the canoe and wanted to know where he had gotten it. Because hadn't she and Rue still been living in the tree houses by the Western Lake at the time? It wasn't until a few weeks into Peeta's arrival that she finally agreed to move into town. And then, it had only been because of his leg. And his desire to run the bakery.

"I've known him for about a year. We met in the woods. He was canoeing and I was hiking towards a hunting spot along the river." And he had given her lessons. And permission to use the canoe whenever she wished. "But we were only friends. Peeta was here and I..."

She had been honest with her sister about almost everything since she had arrived. But there were two things she had kept silent on: her suicide and her relationship with Peeta. Maybe... maybe it was time to come clean about one of them.

"I was with him. I... loved him." Still did every single day. And missed him so, so much. "There were no Games. No Snow or Coin to impress. Just us."
