He told her he knew Gale had kissed her (exactly once) and warned her that she needed to convince everyone on the Victory Tour of her true love for Peeta. President Snow, with his signature smell of blood and roses, informed Katniss there was some unrest in the districts due to her defiant act with the berries in the previous Games. Sure enough, a man from the Capitol led her to the study, where President Snow was waiting for her. This clued Katniss in to the fact that something unusual was happening. When Katniss returned home, she was met by her mother at the door, chattering nervously about how Katniss had enjoyed her “walk”. Haymitch reminded them they’d have to play the happy lovers again for the tour. While she was there, Peeta stopped by with fresh bread. Katniss then stopped by to wake Haymitch from his drunken stupor so he could get ready for the Tour. She took the game to Gale’s mother Hazelle, then stopped by the Hob to patronize a few of the sellers and chat with some old friends and acquaintances, including Peacekeepers Cray and Darius. On the morning of the Victory Tour, scheduled roughly six months after the end of the 74 th Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen spent the morning in the woods, checking her snare line. ***** Everything below is a SPOILER ***** What happened in Catching Fire?
