It had been weeks since he'd been caught cheating to help his tribute win in the Games, and Coriolanus had to admit being a Peacekeeper wasn't all that bad. Not to mention he managed to bride his way to district 12 in the hopes to see his tribute again. Assuming she wasn't dead, that is. God knows what Dean Highbottom was willing to do.

On one of his days off, him and a couple of other Peacekeepers visit the Hob, where the people of the district would drink and listen to music played on stage. Coriolanus sits at the back of the Hob with his friend Sejanus, when a short blonde girl appears on stage. And what she says makes his heart beat ten times faster.
