Euphoria — that is the only word to describe what the Odairs feel. Pure euphoria. Their wedding had been perfect for them, and their wedding night had been even better.

Finally being able to express their love and admiration for each other in that way had brought them even closer. For them, the experience hadn't been about lust. It was about changing from two beings to one. It was about becoming infinite, and they now were.

No matter what came their way, they would always find each other in every life time.

Lilith takes a deep breath and shifts in their bed, immediately feeling Finnick beside her. She opens her eyes and looks at her husband, but he's already looking at her. Lilith smiles and laughs lightly.

"What?" She questions in a soft voice.

Finnick grabs her left hand with his, admiring their simple gold bands with affection. "I'm just admiring my wife."

Lilith's face lights up when he calls her his wife. She doesn't think she'll ever get tired of hearing that.

"I just want to stay here with you," Finnick whispers, bringing her hand to his lips and planting a soft kiss on it.

"I know." Lilith watches him intently. They stay like that for a moment, holding each other in silence. "We still have a job to do."

Finnick sighs and knows what she's referring to. The war is still going on.

"Besides, you still have a promise to keep," Lilith teases lightly.

Finnick chuckles and rakes his hand through her hair. "I meant it. I'm taking you to Four. We'll have a house, right on the shore. We'll take walks on the beach, have dinner in candlelight. Everything romantic."

"Everything romantic?" Lilith questions.

"Oh yeah," Finnick nods his head. "I plan on doing everything in the book."

"Even the cheesy things?" Lilith smirks.

"Especially the cheesy things," Finnick grins.

Lilith giggles in response. He holds her a little tighter as they continue to lay there.

"I don't want to lose you again," Finnick murmurs in Lilith's ear after a few moments.

"I know. I don't want to lose you either," Lilith says sadly. "But, I also don't want to be stuck in this hole for the rest of our lives. This cycle of losing each other and not being able to be in    love— I'm tired of it."

Finnick stays silent for a moment.

"Hey," Lilith coos, touching the side of his face. "We've made it this far. What's a bit farther?"

Finnick can't help but smile at his wife's optimism. That was something she never used to have. But, now she has a reason to be optimistic. Finnick. Her world. Her love. He's her reason for being, just as she's his.

And so, they stay in their own little world for as long as possible. But, eventually, all good things must come to an end.

Lilith Odair is on a mission— minuscule compared to the one that was soon approaching, but a mission nonetheless. Coin doesn't like Lilith on the best of days, but especially not when Lilith wants something. Coin doesn't like how the blonde always seems to get her way. It was quite irritating to her, but that just made Lilith want to do it more.

"Good evening, Miss Monroe—"

"Mrs. Odair," Lilith interrupts immediately.

"...to what do I owe the pleasure," Coin finishes, her voice strained as she is already becoming irritated. Her irritation is always a good sign that she'll eventually give into Lilith's demands.

"Word is that the Mockingjay went against orders. Though, you are the ones who made her into a rebel," Lilith taunts.

Coin's face hardens. "We were also the ones who sent her there."

"Right, of course," Lilith says sarcastically, a smirk etched on her face. Coin's attempts at covering this big of a scandal up are amusing. By now, more people know about Katniss running away than not. "Although, these things do have a way of making themselves known."

"Do they?" Coin snaps. She takes a second to regain her composure. "What do you want Mrs. Odair?"

Lilith smiles. Coin fell right into her trap. "My husband and I would like to be sent there as well. With your permission, of course."

"Of course," Coin repeats bitterly. "And, why should I allow this?"

"Like I said," Lilith starts while heading towards the door to her office. "these things have a way of making themselves known."

Lilith hears Coin sigh heavily as she exits her office.

Within ten minutes, Finnick and Lilith got orders to be stationed in the Capitol.
