"My foot is fine." Hearing Finnick's concerned tone, Vivian's heart warmed and her mood instantly improved.
"Where did you go today, why do you look so unhappy?" Finnick stroked Vivian's hair and asked a little curiously after seeing her in such a foul mood.
"I went shopping with Evelyn today,” Vivian lowered her head as she murmured. She did not want to mention Evelyn's name in front of Finnick but she also did not want to lie to him either.
With Vivian telling Finnick that she had gone out with Evelyn and seeing her unhappy face when she returned earlier, he assumed that there might have been a disagreement between the ladies and it was probably related to him.
Finnick pondered for a moment whether he should speak to Vivian about that incident. If he did, he was afraid that she would be angry like last time. If he didn't, he was afraid that she would be even angrier if she found out.
As he remained silent, Vivian looked up at Finnick apprehensively and noticed he looked rather perplexed.
"What's wrong? Is there something you want to talk to me about?” Vivian asked.
"Well..." Finnick paused for a moment and looked at Vivian a little worriedly, "There is something I think I should tell you about, just don't be angry."
"Why would I be angry?" Vivian looked at Finnick confusedly as she tried to figure out what he wanted to tell her.
"It's about Evelyn." Finnick said to Vivian after a moment of hesitation.
After hearing Finnick mentioning Evelyn's name, Vivian felt a sinking feeling in her heart, and her eyes were full of unease as she looked at him. "What... happened to Evelyn?"
