Summary: Miss Pamela Beesly is faced with an unexpected choice. (Casino night done regency romance style because, why not? Just a bit of fun, and yes, there's a happy ending.) ""Ah! Halpert, good man. See to her, won't you? Philbin's waiting for me in the card room." Pamela Beesly glared at her betrothed, her face flushing, fingers clenched into the blue fabric of her gown. Surely he would not leave her on this terrace in the middle of their conversation? Mr. Halpert, her dearest friend and neighbor, murmured his acquiescence, and Captain Roy Anderson disappeared back into the ballroom."

Recommender's comments: I mean... it's Casino Night. But regency romance style. And with a happy ending. Isn't that kind of all the recommendation you need? Here's rooting for Mary to post this here too!

Recommender's comments: A Pam POV stretching from before Jim arrives at Dunder Mifflin to somewhere around Stress Relief, and a lovely little walk through her head - one that also illustrates the parallels and relationship between her failed engagement to Roy and her parents' unhappy marriage.

Summary: "So, at 11:53 on Tuesday morning, she told Roy she had plans to eat lunch with Jim and told Jim she had plans to eat lunch with Roy. She snuck Roy’s keys out of his locker and drove his pickup exactly 2.4 miles to Rite Aid. Last time she’d comparison-shopped pregnancy tests in the Family Planning aisle, Pam had been seventeen and scared out of her mind. Now she was twenty-five and...scared out of her mind."
