Have they stripped you of your rank? [ he asked pointedly. ] No, and that means they still believe you can do your job.
He looks at you like you're all there is. [ Gale snorted. It was almost like a cheesy romance movie, only this was real life, and featuring one of his friends who wasn't perfect like those girls in the movies always were.
Bluntly, he continues, ] No, I didn't. I heard about what they used to do to people before, messing with their heads and breaking hearts. I didn't think Lydia meant it at first, either. But I've kept an eye on Finnick, and he means it. Their Aphrodite cabin isn't like the rumors we heard before. They changed that.
[Annie hung her head, the tips of her hair skimming the water.]
Lydia loves you a lot. [She smiled just slightly.] You two look beautiful together. It's... Funny, isn't it? That they love us, when we don't love ourselves?
And you and Finnick always look happy when you're together. [ He shakes his head, smiling in spite of himself. ] They always say that no one can love you if you don't love yourself, but it's not true. I guess they recognize that better than anyone, with the goddess of love for a mother.
