I know it's cruel

But I kind of hope you're tortured too

Some of Pam's feelings throughout Season 3.  

"Where is your future?"

"She's back in Scranton."

A deeper look into Jim and Pam's thoughts during "The Job," plus what I think could have happened on their first date.  

"I wanted you to fight for me and you didn't."

A deeper look into "Benihana Christmas" and "Back From Vacation" with an AU at the end of Jim and Pam getting together.  

"This morning, phone guy comes in, and he shows Michael that our phones have a PA function... and then he just, left..." 

The road stretches before him and threatens to swallow him whole.

A response to the 55 Words To Leave Scranton challenge.  

A brief snapshot of Pam and Jim's first date after "The Job", completely based on the lyrics of the Taylor Swift song "Begin Again".

“Are you free for dinner tonight?”

“Yes.” Her reply is immediate, eager, completely certain. He sees her, truly sees her, sees her eyes taking him in and her hands clenched in her lap and her hair the same way it has been every day that he has known her.

“Then it’s a date.” It is the most important thing in the world that he clarifies this last piece of information, that she knows what she is getting into. He is almost prepared to hear her recant, to take back her single syllable and tuck it away for someone else. But she doesn’t. 

Dear friends, may I present a short collection of events taking place during and after the events depicted in ‘The Job’ (S3) detailing Jim’s break-up with Karen and his first date with Pam. Get excited for some angsty monologuing from Jim, some indignant Karen and some super fluffy adorable first-date non-canon content.
