Had the thought of me heading over to another place never crossed his mind? How could he be so certain I would make a trip to his office?
"Have you forgotten you are my wife?" Finnick answered with a faint smile.
She was unsure of the proper way to carry on with the conversation because she was taken aback by his answer.
Initially, she had given up on him and planned to leave him behind once and for all. However, a few minutes into their conversation, she started opening up to the man again.
She was overwhelmed by a heartwarming sensation because she had always been a sucker for promises of sorts.
On the other hand, in spite of being aware of Vivian's emotions and helplessness, Finnick chose to remain silent.
He wanted her to make up her mind and figure out her next best course of action on her own.
She would have to decide if she would have faith in him or leave him once and for all.
With that being said, having faith in him was her only option because he would never allow her to leave him.
As she was conscious of his desire, she knew she had no choice but to trust him. Otherwise, she would be forced into submission.
After three minutes of silence, Vivian said, "What's going on between you and Lexi?"
"It's you."
"What?”
She was stupefied because of his reply. In fact, she thought he had misheard her question. However, when she saw his serious expression, she knew he meant it.
"You're the one Lexi and I have in our minds."
In spite of elaborating his words, he knew she was confused.
Hence, he explained, "Lexi hates you, but I love you."
Vivian was aimlessly walking on the streets. She had forgotten the way she made her way there.
All she could recall was her departure after her conversation with Finnick.
She was in a state of confusion after he assured her he had never turned his back against her. Therefore, she decided to have faith in him for one last time.
