[When given the choice between talking or kissing Peeta, kissing him of her own free will, the answer is surprisingly simple. She doesn't expect it to be, not really. But it is, isn't it?
Because kissing Peeta means she can block everything else out. Means she doesn't have to worry about him being gone. Doesn't have to think about this stupid game they're trapped in. And more than that, she can reassure herself. Reassure herself that he's alive and here. Here with her and not going anywhere.
Arms wrap around his neck this time and she steps as close to him as she can possibly get. Somehow, it doesn't feel close enough.]
