"Sure, I can do that. When should I be there to help out?" Mentally he goes over his schedule. Prim isn't the only one who's been more busy than usual lately. Between football practice and work on the farm, Chouji has a lot going on.

Chouji doesn't like thinking about endings, but he's also afraid to think about the long term. He'll be happy with Prim for as long as she'll have him, he thinks. He smiles back at her, only slightly distracted by how pretty she is when her face lights up like that.

"I am too." He reaches a free hand across the table, leaving it open in case Prim wants to take it. Chouji can't even worry about being selfish. He's still too grateful for what's forming between them to think too hard about consequences.
