The Kiss from Mr Mellark’s POV.
There’s a general murmur of dissent in the crowd when she leans forward and kisses him. People don’t like it; it feels cheap. But there is also excitement; hope that perhaps they’ll come home alive. We could have a pair of winners. But something else is bothering me; I’ve seen that blank look that Katniss Everdeen’s eyes hold before. I’ve seen that expression on her mother’s face. It means that not all is as it seems with the star-crossed lovers from District Twelve. She’s hiding something. And If I know my son, he believes wholeheartedly that she is telling the truth. Which means a broken heart if - no, when - he gets home. I just hope she’s not all he’s living for.
