[Cato's thoughts also linger on the wedding, he thinks of how excited his parents would be about this - how his mother would dote on Clove in her own weird way, how his father would slap him on the back and grin because this meant the town was going to have a party.]

Yeah... me too. My mom would be so mad about missing this.

[He remembers what Katniss had said though. That the other Victors had been...]

They'd probably like it here.

[After all - it was a hell of a lot better than District 2.]

[shenevermisses]

They'd love it here.

[She tries not to think about their parents. Cato's... gone. Hers... They might be dead. If they'd tried to fight either the Capitol or the new government. Or maybe they'd just adjusted, were living happily. She liked that idea better than the alternative...]

[It's been harder and harder not thinking of what they'd lost the more and more they'd made his proposal a reality outside of the Shift. He misses his family as much as Clove had become the next best thing (which sounded like an insult when he actually put it to words)]

They'd never stop fussing over it all.

[She can't quite bring herself to actually talk about Portia. Even though that's where her mind instantly goes. She was never that close with her own mother -- an Academic who never seemed to really feel the horror of the Games (Clove wonders, just sometimes, if her view changed at all watching the 74th) -- but Cato's mom...

She knows now... Cato knows now... what happened to Portia after the 75th. How everything they knew is gone.]
