Auggie lives for those visits from Katniss. The rest of his life seems dull in comparison and he's reminded of how bleak things were before he'd fallen in love with her. He's very aware that their relationship gives Snow another hold on him, on Katniss and that's exactly what he wants to talk to Katniss about, at least in part. Yes, it's about so much more than them, but it's also all about them.

The boat has always been Auggie's favorite spot. Spending time there with Katniss has only made it more special to him. One of these days, he hopes their world is bigger than his boat. He wants more with her. He wants a full, whole life with Katniss rather than moments stolen.

He closes his eyes, basking in that kiss, in her touch, in the feel of her body against his. "It's always too long," he tells her, "but I agree." He takes a deep breath, holding it a moment before exhaling. "I actually want to talk to you about something that could change that, that could give us more time together."

Of course, it could all backfire on them. He knows that, but he thinks it could be worth it.
