Some secrets you just need to keep. Katniss understands that better than others. Prim will forever be better off thinking that Katniss had been an au pair abroad the last couple of years. Shame does drive a lot of her need to keep the Games a secret from her sister. But there is the need to keep her safe. Most of the people responsible are dead or in jail but there are still the patrons. Matt couldn't get everyone. She hopes that Foggy and Karen accept this change in Matt's relationship with her. It's not so much that Katniss cares what they think as she knows how much Matt relies on them. And she never wants to do anything to hurt him. Not on purpose, anyway.
She believes in him. In Matt Murdock and in the Daredevil. It's just that the man that Katniss loves is capable of some incredible things and sometimes, she doubts that she could ever compare.
When she let herself have a moment of wistfulness, all it took was thinking logically about their lives and she can't think of any reason why things might work out between them. Though both their lives have been complicated, she sometimes doubts that they couldn't have led more different lives if they tried. But opposites can attract. Katniss had seen that with her parents. And they're happy. He loves her after all, and in the best kind of way. For now, she wants that to be enough.
She's noticed that slight change in his demeanor. The way he seems more content to come home to her rather than the awkwardness that had existed when she first moved in. She likes it better this way. More so now that her assumptions behind his happiness have been proven wrong.
"I noticed," she can't help but quip, feeling his smile and smiling herself. They're still lying naked on top of the bed sheets and searching for a blanket to cover herself is one of the last things on her mind when she has Matt to keep her warm. His body is a heavy weight that she's not used to but Katniss likes the feel of it regardless. It's just... right. "I felt it," she continues, suddenly feeling the urge to keep the moment light rather than dive back into that deep emotional discussion that landed them in the bed to begin with. "And liked it. A lot. So much for that condom."
