He found himself asking that question a lot more these days. It was a question motivated by surprise, by disbelief. Maybe if he asked it enough the answer would change. Katniss would stop coming up with things that surprised him, stop having secrets about his life and his future.
Peeta had to stop thinking like that. It was dangerous focusing on what had been, what he could have lived through. He wouldn’t, some other version of himself would and despite how much that pained him there was nothing he could do about it. He could switch places with that version of himself. Both were going to live their lives, as different as they could be.
“What would you have done? Katniss...stop thinking like that.” It didn’t matter. He hadn’t been saved and maybe he was here, saved from it in a way he didn’t understand. Frustration mounting, he combed his fingers through his hair causing to stand on end. “Just stop apologizing.”
