The conversation feels all wrong. Leave We cant leave, so why bother talking about it

And even if we did. even if we did. where did this stuff about having kids come from There s never been anything romantic between Gale and me. Besides, if he wants kids, Gale won t have any trouble finding a wife. He s goodlooking, he s strong enough to handle the work in the mines, and he can hunt. You can tell by the way the girls whisper about him when he walks by in school that they want him. It makes me jealous but not for the reason people would think. Good hunting partners are hard to find.
