Is it a homage, is it a tribute or is it just that I am not very good at thinking up original plots?  Whatever, this story is 'inspired' by Jane Austen's Persuasion and is meant to have a similar mix of melancholy and hope.  Set after the rumoured merger of the branches (spoilers up to Grief Counselling), Michael organises a bonding exercise adventure and Pam has to deal with seeing Jim again - and with his attentions to Karen.  But if you've read Persuasion, you might guess that someone is heading for a fall ...

An in-depth look at Jim Halpert's inner dialogue throughout all 9 seasons of The Office. 

Jim is in love with Pam Beesly, despite that ring on her finger. He pines for her, leaves her, and finally puts his own ring there instead. See that world through Jim's eyes (with special sections through Pam's eyes as well!)

It starts with the first time Jim and Pam are in the same room again, followed by their first real fight and then..you know...a few other firsts. :)

The Merger happens in Stamford. What will Jim do now?

Jim wakes up at home after a late night at the office and tries to process what happened. Spoilers for Diwali, 3X05.
