Coriolanus swore he would never fall in love after Lucy Gray but as the future President of Panem he needed a First Lady, so he sort out an arranged marriage with someone he knew whilst he was still in The Academy, one of past classmates.

He didn’t want to be manipulated again, didn’t want to risk falling in love so he chose someone he didn’t think he could fall for. Coriolanus’ downfall came when he ended up choosing the sweetest girl, and he hated himself for how he was starting to feel.
