Never Late, Never Away Chapter 279

At the sight of Vivian’s hesitation, Finnick could tell that she must have misunderstood him and chose to give him the cold shoulder.

If this went on unresolved, Vivian’s anger would boil over sooner or later.

“Vivian, I—” Finnick wanted to explain everything to Vivian, but the moment he opened his mouth, he realized he couldn’t exactly tell her everything now. It was still a secret, after all. He couldn’t just ruin the surprise.
