- her cheeks, body quickly moving away from 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾's home and down towards her own. She couldn't comprehend what she had just -

- done. Kiernan probably just ruined the one solid relationship she had. Upon entering her house, she ran upstairs and - 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾

- fell into her large bed.* 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾

*There were two things Kiernan wanted to do when she was extremely upset. Bake or cry. And today, it was cry. She had known - 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾

- practically her entire life, and now, that she had finally confessed her feelings, she felt as if that relationship was - 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾

- over.* 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾

*It didn't do her any good to lay around and mope as she had been doing for what seemed to be the past hour now. Her spirits - 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾

- hadn't risen any by now, but she definitely wasn't going to let 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾 just do that without a fight.*

*It was difficult to continue her work on the daily with the repetitive reminder of the previous events that had occurred - 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾

- earlier that week.* 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾

*Kiernan's small shoppe happened to be positioned right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of town square, her brows - 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾

- furrowing once she heard the commotion. Even the customers noticed something to be going on. Perhaps this had to do - 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾

- with The Hunger Games. She didn't know, maybe somewhere inside, she didn't really care. 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾 hadn't spoken to her for three -

- entire months. She needed to cut him from her mind.* 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾

*Kiernan was a coward. She didn't like bad things to happen, and it made her extremely anxious when they did. Her body slipped - 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾

- from behind the counter towards the window. What the hell was going on?* 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾

This makes me happy. And so do you. *Smiles widely.* 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾

*But besides the children, her eyes caught the sight of a certain 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾, which caused pain to seep into her bones. She needed to -

- speak to him again, but how? She slowly and quietly slipped out of the bakery, nearing 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾 from aways away, praying the -

- Peacekeepers wouldn't pay attention to her slow and quiet movements.* 𝖤𝗅𝗂𝗃𝖺𝗁 𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝖾
