Why this must be read: The time between the end of The Hunger Games and the beginning of Catching Fire is time ripe for exploration. Both Katniss and Peeta must adjust to their new lives as victors and to the constant curiosity this new status brings them. They sold a love story and the district doesn't quite know what to make of it. We're privy to some of what Katniss goes through but Peeta's experiences remain somewhat of a mystery. This story explores that isolation and the coping mechanisms he utilizes.
The cameras are around for a while. The hand-holding and kissing and "you're the best thing that's ever happened to me, Peeta," are around for a while.
The cameras leave. As they watch the train disappear he slips his hand from hers because it feels like it's stabbing him over and over again, making him write lines like teachers would do if you acted up, repeating, "it was all an act, it was all an act, it was all an act."
She leaves after a bit, Katniss Everdeen retreating from him and to where she truly belongs to: maybe to her family or to the woods or just somewhere that isn't by his side. He watches the area that the train sped off towards, where the cameras went away to and the wind picks up and cuts through his sweaty back as the sun beats down. He wonders what is going to be worse, having Katniss and acting like he truly receives his love and smiling, or the empty spaces all around him that will make up all the hours of his days.
