Excerpt: 

“So what is it we’re doing exactly?” Rowan asks, a pace or two behind me as we make our way quickly into the woods behind my house a few weeks later.

“We’re gathering some honey.” I reply, looking over my shoulder to see a skeptical look cross his face. “It’s the first of the season and it’s come early this year.” I add, hoping this would convince him further that he really did want to help me with this.

“Bees sting, Camellia.” He points out obviously, as his body clearly tenses.

“Yes, Rowan, they do.” I reply, imitating his voice. He narrows his eyes at me and I laugh, “That’s why there are hoods for us to wear once we get there.”

He still doesn’t look convinced and I roll my eyes at him as we continue our walk. The hives are always louder at this time of year with the flurry of activity as bees harvest from the freshly bloomed flowers. They aren’t even in view when I first hear them and I can sense Rowan tense up even further despite the fact that there are none buzzing around him. We walk into the clearing a few moments later and I turn to see Rowan swatting at the air around his ears.

“What are you doing?” I question, trying to keep the amusement out of my voice.

“They’re swarming my head!” He says defensively. Apparently I’m not so good at keeping a neutral tone of voice.

I walk over to him and grab both his wrists, pulling them back down to his sides, “No, they’re not.”

Part 32: Bonding Times is up!

Excerpt:

            “So how are you and Rowan doing?” Laurel asks. I look up in surprise before turning back to the skillet. I know exactly where she’s going with this. I’ve been waiting for her to ask since the night of her wedding when I caught her watching us together.

            “I’m fine. Rowan’s fine too.” I mumble.

            “I saw you both at the wedding, Camellia.” She admits in a low voice so Holly doesn’t overhear. “I haven’t seen you look that happy since…”

            She trails off, not wanting to say what comes next. But I can fill in the blanks myself. I haven’t looked that happy since Linden died. She might be right. She probably is. I can’t remember being this happy in years. Things are actually starting to feel right again.

Part 31- Reason to Celebrate is up!

Excerpt:

    That entire day flashes back to me in an instant and it’s like I’m there all over again, losing the one man I love more than anything. His face, terrified and desperate, flashes before my eyes. I want to reach out for him, to comfort him, but I know I can’t. He’s dead.

    I have to leave. I’ll explain to Laurel later that I couldn’t be here. I couldn’t be in this place that reeks of death and heartbreak. Linden’s voice rings in my ears, telling me he loves me; he’ll marry me; he won’t leave me. I’m sure my heart is going to explode any second as it pounds away in my chest. Just as I turn to leave, I feel a hand on my arm. I jump and wrench my arm away from the grasp of the peacekeeper that’s trying to pull me away from Linden again.

Hopefully it will be out next week. And yes I’ll also be working on updating TGD7. Sorry I got sidetracked!

I don’t feel like they’d name them after someone like Finnick and Prim but I’m not set on the names I’ve been working with. I’m just fishing for some ideas and thought you all might be able to help. If you have any suggestions, throw them at my ask box and I’ll give you a high five!

I don’t really think they would name them after Finnick, Prim, Johanna, etc. but I’m not positive if I like the names I’ve been working with. Could you throw some suggestions in my ask? I’ll give you a cookie!

Sorry for the wait! But Part 30 of TGD7, Muddled Questions, is up!

Excerpt:

   ”What do you want?” He asks, clearly wanting to hear the words from my lips. “Camellia, tell me what you want.”

    “I don’t know.” I whisper with a sigh, “I don’t know what i want, Rowan. I don’t even know what i feel anymore. I’m just so confused. Everything reminds me of the Capitol- of the men there. I swore I would never do this again. Not after everything…” I trail off not wanting to continue on that train of thought. “I only know that I don’t want you to leave me alone.” I finish, watching his expression warily, waiting for him to decide it’s not worth it; that i’m too fucked up. He surprises me though, when his lips twitch up slightly at the corners and he takes a step towards me.
