A wave of guilt washes over her when he asks that and she closes her eyes for a moment and takes in a deep breath of the fresh, morning air. There's parcels of truth in both of the answers. At the heart of it, leaving him hadn't been her choice. He was the one that should have been rescued and she had fought for that the moment they knew they were going back into the Games.
After what feels like the longest moment of her life she answers, "Not real. I had no choice, I was injured and Haymitch promised..." She lets it trail off there. They shouldn't have been split up like that, she should have fought harder to stay by his side and he could have been saved. All excuses and no help now.
"I didn't want to leave you." But I had no choice.
