//Peetas POV//
I shove the ring in my pocket, hoping Katniss didn't see.
For our engagement...
For the wedding...
I stare down at the rumble one more time choking back tears.
It's all gone...
It's destroyed.
My family, their shop.
Everything.

"Are you ready"? I ask Katniss walking over to her, I place my hand around her side as she stares down at the ground.
"Yeah...I am if you are" She says genteelly.

We continue walking for about 10 more minutes cruising through old memories of the seam.
A whimper starts from behind Katniss and I.
We both turn and follow the sound of the wounded animal, soon we find ourselves at a pile of stone.
We both quickly start unraveling it, then soon find a dirty fluffy once white dog. It's probably only 2 months old. Katniss carefully picks it up as the whimpers end, she brushes off his fur revealing a some what white coloring.
"Let's get him back to the house" I say.
Katniss follows and soon we arrive at our house, where the grocery bags are put away and the house smells of coconut oil.
Katniss puts the dog in the sink and we carefully wash him.
The puppy goes from a dark brown to a pristine white.
"Can we keep it"?
