The idea that he could be married to Sam is so amusing that Albert actually gives a bark of a laugh as he turns the next corner in the stairwell. "No, someone else. Sam and I are close but not that close."
Not like you are, is the implication, and there's a hopeful note to it. Riley could be somewhere in the Capitol dreaming, even if he's dead in his own world. So many are and yet live on here, and maybe will get to continue if they can overthrow the Capitol and turn Panem into somewhere worth living. It's a nice thought, changing the totalitarian dictatorship into a country of new hope and life.
He's about to say something else, but a hissing sound starts from the fused door below. A cursory glance reveals the Peacekeepers have gotten their hands on something to cut the door open with forcefully, as evidenced by the white-hot glow sparking from one edge of the frame.
"Hurry." Albert starts taking the stairs three at a time.
