[He smiles, the liquor making him feel sentimental.]
She's beautiful. Wild. Kind. Wears her heart on her sleeve. She struggles a lot with her mental health, but she'd never hurt anyone. We were unofficially together for a long time, but couldn't be monogamous because of the sex work. We had to keep it secret, because if I didn't do as the President told me, he'd kill her. When the rebellion happened, she was kidnapped and tortured by the Capitol, but once we rescued her, I was finally free from my contract with the President and we got married. We conceived soon after that, and we were ecstatic, but then I died before our kid was born.
[A lump grows in his throat, his eyes shiny with tears as he looks down at his glass.]
I know my friend Katniss will take care of her, but I still worry about her so much.
[Katniss understands. Finnick had taken care of Peeta at any cost; Katniss would return the favor for him, he hopes. Still, Annie could be so fragile, and the baby... Who knows what could have happened?
A tear drips from his face onto the table. He sniffs.]
cw kidnapping, torture, death threats
