Nicole arched her brows as she replied, "The law here doesn't allow for divorces. Are you sure that... you want to be with me forever?"

She initially thought that Jared wanted to get married in Panem because of her age, but now that she had seen the law here, she figured that Jared might have had something else in mind.
