None of this would have ever happened, let alone the five-year separation.
Moreover, he had mistakenly thought that Vivian had been raped then and even wanted her to abort their own child. Even though he had given in to her, Finnick had still felt very uneasy.
Thinking back on it now, the whole fiesta was just ridiculous. He had actually believed the word of another woman and doubted his own wife.
As Finnick thought about the past, he wanted to slap himself as a punishment for being silly.
He knew he had been wrong. However, what was important now was the future.
He would never compromise on Vivian's needs ever again, nor would he let her leave him.
Never again.
This was both his promise to Vivian and an encouragement for himself.
When he came to terms with everything, all Finnick wanted to do was to go home with Vivian. He'd have to admit his wrongdoings and ask for forgiveness.
Since Vivian's mood seemed to be fine, Finnick called out to her.
"Vivian?"
"What's is it?"
Vivian was neither a hypocritical nor a petty person. As soon as she found out that it was all a misunderstanding, she no longer blamed Finnick for anything.
She simply stared at him, wondering what he wanted to say.
"Vivian, let's go home." Finnick was unsure of what else to say. He just held her hand and waited for her response.
"Okay." The couple then walked hand in hand across the field, both feeling at ease while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
When Finnick realized that Noah did not follow them, he turned and said, "Go back yourself."
Without waiting for a reply, the couple then continued their way.
They strolled along the field with their hands joined together. The couple had finally reunited and had many things to say to each other.
