Despite the fact that Peeta wanted to cut in whole Finnick spoke, tell him he was wrong and that none of that could happen ( or that now that he knew, he could probably prevent it, right? ), Peeta stayed quiet, simply looking down at his hands instead. He looked over them, trying to imagine them around Katniss' neck, but he couldn't. It just wasn't something he could picture himself doing. He'd been willing to let her kill him when they renounced their rule amendment in the 74th Games, and he was going to die for her in the Quell.

Eyes never leaving his hands, Peeta started to shake his head. "That has to be wrong. I would never do that to her."
