    Summary

    Annie and her family had not prepared a token to be taken with her so she boarded the train with a stiff cord that her brother used to tie his own hair back away from his face. It was a short piece that couldn’t be used for anything else so it was allowed. Finnick had halved the cord and wrapped it around Annie’s wrist, securing it with his favorite sailor’s breastplate, seizing the knot so it would remain securely in place but still decorative.

     

    At the time, Annie had traced the knot with her finger and smiled to herself. When Finnick had asked her what was so amusing she only shook her head and told him it reminded her of something her papa had told her once.

     

    He wondered if it was similar to what his own father had told him, about how after the Dark Days for most fishermen there was only rope available to display unions of marriage. They would take cords and use basket weaving knots to decorate their brides’ wrists.
