Dande was so unsure right now.

She stood on the door step, shifting in her boots, wanting to knock on the door and wanting to bolt back down the street at the same time.

She'd found this addressed scribbled on a scrap of paper. And had decided to come, without asking about it. Because if she asked, she knew this whole trip would have been put down before she got out of the door.

But now she was actually here, all her courage was seeping out quickly. So before it could all go, she lifted her hand and knocked quickly on the door.

Maybe no one would be home.

"Oh honey, are you okay?" Honest worry for this girl bubbled up in him. What if she was a run away because he father hurt her and now she was all alone in the world with no one to take care of her. Now here she was wandering through god knows where and she stumbled on his door step. he had to help her, it was like a sign from god that she was here. He would make sure no one would ever hurt her again, and that she would never fear going hungry.

That would never happen to a young girl he could help again. He could almost feel tears welling up but he pushed them back.

"Oh, no I'm ok. I just...I mean I came from around here, but I live in California now, so it was sorta a complicated question...."

She trailed off. Because it wasn't a complicated question at all. And then she smiled at him, hoping that would throw off her trail.

"Well when you're ready to tell me, I know you will." Smiling sweetly at her, he motioned for her to sit.

"I'm just going to take out the rolls and frost them. Make yourself comfortable, would you like anything to drink sweetheart?" He didn't want to force her into anything too painful. He smiled again and then walked into the kitchen to finish up.

She followed him into the kitchen, trailing him like a little duck, and trying to take in the sight of everything as they went. Magnet on the fridge, pictures on the wall...she stopped to look at one of her father, mother, and a baby her. She knew it, it was the same as the one mom had, but seeing it here, on the wall...her throat caught.

"Soda please..." She said softly, before hurrying after him into the kitchen.

" Is Coke okay?" Peeta asked opening the fridge. " I think we might have the weird red Mountain Dew too." Rhi loved that stuff and he really didn't know why.

"Coke's fine!" She chirped, finding a place to settle herself and just watched him move. Studied it all. Soaked it in.

Jesus she had to look crazy, but she was so happy.

"Is there anything I can help with?"

"Dad have you seen my..." Rhi cut off when he saw the hot brunette in his kitchen. He was suddenly very aware that he was only wearing a towel.

"Hello beautiful." He said with a wink. It wasn't every day the girl of your dreams was in your kitchen. "And you are?"

She looked up, blue eyes widening.

This had to be Rhi. There wasn't any other option, even though the only picture she had seen of him he was just a toe head, rolly baby.

He had mom's grin. She wondered how mom would feel about that. About him.

"Hi. Uhm. Hi!"

"Hi." Rhi sat next to her not worrying about the fact that he was naked as a jay bird. "So to what do we owe the pleasure of having your company this fine afternoon?" A grin spread ear to ear as he turned to her.

"Rhi! Go put some clothes right now!" Peeta scolded, placing cinnamon rolls in front of them. He could not believe how embarrassing Rhi could be some times.

She just giggled at them.

Would this have been every sunday morning? Where would mom have fit in? Katniss could see her, sitting there. Happy. It was hard to imagine mom happy, though.

"I hear the cinnamon buns are choice."

Rhi, ignoring his father, took a roll off the plate. He smiled at his new girlfriend and licked the frosting off his fingers.

"They're not the only thing cutie." Oh if only dad wasn't here, this frosting would probably taste much better on her.

Peeta was ignoring his son and poured milk for the kids. This poor girl was in some awful situation and now she had to deal with cheesy pick uo lines.

"Oh yeah?" She grinned back, giggling happily.

Her brother. Little brother. She wanted to hug him. A lot.

"Thank you!" Still all grins, she smiled up at Peeta as he set down the milk.

"For the last time Rhu, please go put some clothes on. We really don't want our guest to lose her appetite." He really hoped Rhi didn't turn that around like he was so often prone to do.

Peeta loved his son, he really did. He also wondered why he was more interested in politics than Broadway because he was the perfect ham.

"Dad really, everything covered, and if I go get dressed I'll miss hot cinnamon buns. Also I don't wanna miss a minute I could be spending with our visitor, that would be rude." Rhi smirked in his fathers direction as he took a bite.

She hadn't felt this giddy happy in...ages. She couldn't remember the last time.

Leaning forward, she poked Rhi's side gently, hoping she wasn't over stepping and boundaries.

"I really don't mind, it's ok."

Rhi blushed furiously down his chest until it was hiding away underneath his towel. Peeta just shook his head as he walked into the other room.

"So, where are you from miss?..." He wasn't sure if he had asked this yet or not, but he was pretty sure he had asked her name and gotten ignored.

She chewed her lip for a moment, before decided to go for it.

"Dande. From California."

"Dande? I like it, it's different. Not like I can talk with a name like Rhi. I've always wanted to go to California, I hear the ocean there is a lot different that ours, sounds fun." And you would look hot in a bikini. He didn't say that last part but he wanted to. There was something familiar about the name Dande, but he couldn't really put his finger on what.

"Oh, I love the ocean. It's my favorite part about being there!"

Granted where they lived the ocean wasn't quite as accessible. But she would take road trips south often enough. And the beach was still beautiful and sometimes tempting.

He watched for for a moment, there was something about he he couldn't quiet put his finger on, but it was so familiar. He tried to take her in and focus on what it was, but kept being distracted by her eyes.

"Do you surf? I've really always wanted too, but the water here is just a ripple away from placid, unless it's trying to kill you." He decided to move on to avoid looking like a creep.

"Nah. I boogie boarded some, but I don't have the balance for surfing. You would probably be good at it."

He looked like the surfer type.

Maybe she could just bring him home. If she ever went home. Which was looking less and less likely.

"I do have fairly good balance, or so I've been told." He smiled at her really unsure where he was trying to go with that.

"So what do you do for fun then?"

"Me? Well I like going to the beach. I play music, drive around a lot, hike..."

Dande was rarely bored at home, but listing it off, it all seemed so boring.

"What about you?"

"Don't get him started talking about himself we'll be here all day." Peeta called from the other room.

Rhy seemed to pay him no mind and took a drink of milk casually.

"Well lets see, I really love swimming, we have a lot of really beautiful swimming holes around here a few that most people don't know about. I love being in the woods, I'll have to show you some time.My biggest passion, though, is for history and politics. I love going to museums, Dad takes me to D.C. every year for my birthday I'll pick a museum and spend days exploring it carefully, so I don't miss anything. I hope I don't sound too lame." He smiled again not sure how well his wooing was going. fair well he hoped.

"Not at all."

Her mind was already running down museums she could take him to see in California.

"We should go swimming. Here. Maybe there, if you ever come back with me."

Going well indeed. She was already inviting him home with her. A wide grin spread a cross his face.

"That could be fun. Either could be very fun in fact."

Over his shoulder, his father rolled his eyes. He then smiled and winked at Dande, miming out choking.

She was nearly vibrating with excitement. This was going so well.

Stuffing the rest of the delicious cinnamon bun in her face, she stood up.

"Will you show me around?"
