After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 57

Felix stood there, kinda dazed, his eyes flicking over to the kitchen door. Through the frosted glass, he could see Katniss hustling around, her slim figure moving non-stop.

"If she was out to get me, why'd she tell me someone was messing with my meds?" Maximilian's voice was all cool and detached, but his eyes had this sarcastic glint. "If it weren't for her heads-up, I'd probably be six feet under by now, thanks to that poison."

Felix's face went pale in a heartbeat.

"Don't jinx it like that," Felix said, frowning hard.

For a sec, he was genuinely freaked out.

Katniss whipped up a small pot of coffee pudding, set aside two bowls for Felix and Maximilian, and packed the rest into some plastic containers.

She shoved the leftover ingredients into the fridge.

No way she was taking them home. Her family never got to taste any of it. Anna probably gave it away or sold it, which ticked Katniss off.

After wrapping up, Katniss said her goodbyes and headed to the coffee shop with the coffee pudding.
