Peeta proposes to Katniss on live TV, but President Snow is still not convinced it’s enough. Trouble is brewing in the districts, and Katniss is stroking the flames, whether she means to or not. When they stop for a celebration in District 11, an old man whistles Rue’s four-note mockingjay tune and the citizens offer their thanks to Katniss. She does her best to keep up appearances on the Victory Tour, but understands she may have to resort to marrying Peeta or run away. President Snow pays Katniss a visit, threatening her loved ones if she doesn’t convince Panem that her final act in the Games – pulling out poisonous berries to kill herself and Peeta – was motivated by love and not defiance. They shared a single kiss, but she’s confused about their relationship. Her hunting partner and best friend Gale Hawthorne now works in the coalmines. Despite her family's lush new house in Victors' Village and the newfound wealth, Katniss still hunts in order to feed her friends. A few months after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games with Peeta Mellark, Katniss Everdeen, now 17, is adjusting to her new life of plenty after spending her entire childhood in poverty and hunger.
