He thinks back to the night before. Their first night together, and despite a few glasses of wine with dinner he remembers everything. Well…obviously that, but the little details too.

It’s not as if she’s never seen his desk without him sitting there, because of course she has. He’s stayed home sick, made occasional—if unexciting—use of his vacation days, gone on sales calls — she knows what the office looks like when the shape of him is missing, when she glances up and there’s an absence where the slope of his shoulders is supposed to be.

As she settles in that first day of his absence, hangs her coat and takes her seat, Pam lets herself miss him as a coworker and as a best friend and that’s it. Work will be work, with or without Jim Halpert.

But that’s a lie, because of course it is.

A series of one-shots retelling season 3 from Pam's perspective

The voicemails Pam and Jim leave each other, after a 'hard day's work' at Dunder-Mifflin.  Will be covering every episode from Season 1 - Season 9.  

DISCLAIMER:  I don't own the Office or any of the characters affiliated with it.

On a road trip, Jim's memories keep him company.

 Memories take place throughout Jim and Pam's relationship, from friends to husband and wife (pre- to post-series), but they are framed by events that occur during the Texas period (post-series). 

Important note: The author has chosen not to make use of all available warnings. However, one warning does apply to this story, but has been omitted to avoid spoiling readers for a major plot point and story theme. This warning applies for Chapter 10. This note/reminder will be repeated at the beginning of that chapter.
