"Thank you," I said softly.
When I lifted my head, my eyes met Finnick's. Something warm flickered inside my chest, and I couldn't hide the small smile on my face.
"I'll go back to work now."
Finnick felt my body relax slightly in his arms. The corner of his lips lifted into a faint smile.
"Okay," he said quietly. "I'll wait for you at home."
I nodded and stepped out of the car.
After closing the door, I didn't rush back inside the building. Instead, I stood there for a moment and watched the car leave.
Only after the Bentley disappeared from sight did I turn around and head back upstairs.
I held the lunchbox close to my chest.
The warmth from the food seeped through my clothes, spreading slowly through my body.
It felt a little like Finnick's embrace just now.
Even as I walked, I could still faintly catch the scent he left behind. The memory of his arms around me made my cheeks turn red.
Okay.
Stop thinking about it.
