Vivian lay in Finnick’s arms, choking and sobbing. She had no idea where her boundless emotions sprouted from, nor did she think she was capable of producing so many tears; but she hadn’t cried like this for a very long time.

As he patted Vivian’s shoulder, Finnick’s heart filled with self-blame. She must have been really scared to be bawling so violently… why didn’t I search for her sooner?

“Try to calm down, okay? Let’s find a way out of here. We have to deal with your injury first. Also, the temperatures here are too low. You might get hypothermia if we don’t get you out soon.”

A bright pink flushed across Vivian’s face. She felt embarrassed; she had never expected to cry so miserably in front of Finnick. She broke away from his embrace and wiped her tears. “My foot’s injured though, how do we get out now?”

Finnick suppressed the gut-wrenching pity that surged in him. He needed to be calm. He eyed the height of the pit’s walls and said, “Step on my shoulders. You should be able to get to the top. Then once you’re out, I’ll jump out of this pit by myself.”
