Finding the Missing Piece: Book 4

Chapter Sixty-Three

Katniss POV- (A day later)

"I'll come pick you up after work." Peeta says, kissing my cheek.

I smile, "Go home. I don't want you in town." I say, worried he will get into a wreck or something.

The roads aren't completely cleared.

"I'm going but I won't be long. I need to go to the store and stock up then I will go home. I promise." He says.

"Text me when you get there."

"Is there anything you want or need?" He asks.

I sigh, "I want more pita bread, chocolate, pickles, chips and some cereal." I decide.

Peeta chuckles, "Alright, I'll see you later. I love you."

"I love you too. Be safe." I say, sitting down at my desk.

Mrs. Odair smiles at me.

"Hey, Mrs. Odair." Peeta waves, walking out the front door.

She smiles, "Hey, Peeta."

And with that he's gone.

"How was your very long weekend, Sweetheart?" Mrs. Odair asks nicely, pulling out stacks of files for me.

I shrug, "Good. Hopefully you got to spend some time with Finn." I say.

"Oh, yes. Friday they came over for the day, it was really nice."

I smile happily, "Good. We enjoyed having them for Thanksgiving."

"They had a really nice time." She tells me.

"We did too." I say, reminiscing our day.

It was really great.

"Well, can you find me Hazelle Hawthorne's paperwork?"

"Yeah, sure." I say, standing up and going to our files.

I search through until I find the name and take the file out, handing it to Mrs. Odair.

"Thank you." She smiles, taking it from my hand.

I walk back over to my desk and sit down, not having anything else to do.

"So, when the baby comes, I'll need you to bring her up here for visits. Just like Annie does Finn."

She's super excited for Willow to come, probably more excited than my own mother, who hasn't called once since she got our card.

"Sure and you and Mr. Odair could come over. I would love to have you for dinner sometime." I say truthfully.

"That would be lovely, it has to be after you have her though. Not that we wouldn't want to see you both at any time but you know." She laughs.

I chuckle, "I know what you mean." I say.

A few seconds later, the phone rings so I answer it.

(On the phone)

"Odair Insurance." I answer in a nice tone.

"Hi, this is Cinna. Can you give me my bill for this month?" A familiar voice asks.

"Cinna?" I ask, his name and voice sounding so sweetly familiar.

"Yes."

I shrug and then remember exactly where I know him from.

"Are you Cinna from the bridal shop?"

"Yes, I am." He says, confused.

"Oh my gosh. This is Katniss Mellark." I tell her.
