I froze in place and my heart pounded in my chest as my head drowned with what felt like a million thoughts.

Had I heard Finnick correctly?

I forced down the lump that had formed in my throat and searched for the right thing to say. If this was truly the case, I needed to speak with Lila and try to get to the bottom of what was going on.
