"I suppose you were, weren't you?" She masked the fact that she was trying to do some quick math with a laugh. Katniss was just finishing her first year of college, so she was 19, tops. She figured with her eldest being a teenager, she had to at least be in her 30s in this world, so it made sense that she had to be nearly 15 years older.
Photo albums told Meg that she and Cas had been high school sweethearts despite him being a bit older, and that Meg herself had managed to hold down the fort working with two small children and still caring for her younger sister when their parents passed away and "Clarence" had gone off to war. It would figure that he had been a soldier. The apparently huge inheritance that miraculously hadn't been lost during the depression did wonders for their little family, but Meg hadn't been surprised to see that she had supposedly been stubborn enough to take a job as a chef, anyway.
"We probably were," she answered absently, somewhat caught up in a flood of false memories. They certainly had led quite the little lives here. She couldn't help but feel quite entitled to a little happiness for them both, considering both their made up histories and their real ones.
Part of her wondered what Katniss had been through that she somehow ended up in their makeshift family. She'd have to find out when things were back to normal.
