Itโs been a year since your boyfriend, Cato Hadley, volunteered to participate in the 73rd Hunger Games on District 2โs behalf. Initially, you were terrified, because the thought of Cato not making it back home plagued you to your core. Thankfully, Cato ended up proving you wrong, as he secured his win by bashing the District 10 male tributeโs head in with a brick.
Unfortunately, your anxiety came back with a vengeance the following summer when you volunteered for the 74th Hunger Games. Everyone, including you, was convinced you had it in the bag, considering District 2 had won 2 Hunger Games in a row. However, that all changed when Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire, stole everyoneโs thunder by scoring a training score of 11 โ leaving Cato to deal with your inevitable breakdown.
โHey.โ Cato shook your shoulders, frustration filling his veins when you continued to spiral into a hopeless frenzy. โHEY!โ He yelled. โYouโre not going to die. Iโm gonna do everything I can to make sure you come back home to me.โ
