g。　We　were　allies。　She　was　so　young。　But　no　one　will　understand　my　sorrow　at　Threshˇs　murder。　The　word　pulls　me　up　short。　Murder！　Thankfully；　I　didnˇt　say　it　aloud。　Thatˇs　not　going　to　win　me　any　points　in　the　arena。　What　I　do　say　is；　¨Itˇs　just　。　。　。　if　we　didnˇt　win　。　。　。　I　wanted　Thresh　to。　Because　he　let　me　go。　And　because　of　Rue。〃

¨Yeah；　I　know；〃　says　Peeta。　¨But　this　means　weˇre　one　step　closer　to　District　Twelve。〃　He　nudges　a　plate　of　foot　into　my　hands。　¨Eat。　Itˇs　still　warm。〃

I　take　a　bite　of　the　stew　to　show　I　donˇt　really　care；　but　itˇs　like　glue　in　my　mouth　and　takes　a　lot　of　effort　to　swallow。　¨It　also　means　Cato　will　be　back　hunting　us。〃

¨Me；　too；〃　I　admit。　¨But　not　tonight。〃

We　finish　our　food　in　silence　and　then　Peeta　offers　to　take　the　first　watch。　I　burrow　down　in　the　sleeping　bag　next　to　him；　pulling　my　hood　up　over　my　face　to　hide　it　from　the　cameras。　I　just　need　a　few　moments　of　privacy　where　I　can　let　any　emotion　cross　my　face　without　being　seen。　Under　the　hood；　I　silently　say　good…bye　to　Thresh　and　thank　him　for　my　life。　I　promise　to　remember　h
