Summary: Katniss and President Snow sit down and start talking. All of a sudden, things take a turn for the worst when President Snow starts talking about the berries in the Hunger Games. Katniss braces herself for the conversation because she knows that he is going to question her about Peeta and Gale. President Snow is worried that Katniss’s actions in the Hunger Games will start an uprising, which could lead to a revolution that would change Panem. Katniss knows that she is in trouble, when she tells President Snow that Peeta made the cookies they were eating during their conversation because this gets President Snow talking about her and Peeta being “lovers”, and eventually on the topic of Gale. President Snow cut to the chase when he basically told Katniss that he knew about her and Gale going hunting on Sundays, and that they are more than just friends. Katniss is stunned by how President Snow knows about this, but keeps the shock shielded behind her poker face. Katniss assures Presisdent Snow she will prove to him that she and Peeta are lovers on the tour, and they wrap up the conversation. Just as President Snow is walking out the door, he turns to Katniss and says, “By the way, I know about the kiss” that came out of nowhere one day by Gale while hunting.
