What is always such a treat with your writing is all the extra stuff we get, like in this one the added bits about Tarzan and Mr. Rogers. You always have such good details to share (or in this case Sam).
Speaking of details, I appreciated the details about their first meeting and how she was having the ring resized - so he didn't know during their "first date" how she was engaged and what a rough way to find out. I also caught the details that the teal teapot was one of the items she wanted to take from the cupboard.
Good for Jim not trying to be a fixer yet and just being there for her, taking Sam's advice to be a Good Man.
And hot chocolate toast is always a good way to close out a chapter. Looking forward to what happens next.
Author's Response: Thank you! I have a lot of fun adding in those details so I'm glad they work for you too. Same with how Sam's speech landed. Kind of the thing Jim needs to hear to grow a couple years emotionally. Glad you liked it all and thanks for always picking up on the details.

Was great how Jim was just there for Pam as a friend, not trying to rush her into anything. It’s what she needs right now. Plus some hot chocolate, that makes everything better!!
Loved Jim noticing the watercolour, it’s the little things that make him, him
Looking forward to more!
Author's Response: I like to think it's because he pays so close attention to Pam that he's able to come up with really meaningful gestures like this. Unlike others who gloss over her. Thanks for the comment, love reading them.

I know that this off subject,
but do you think we can get
an up for Sliver Wings soon?
Author's Response: I'm probably not going to even start until after the new year. I'll be working on a Christmas fic soon so that'll take priority. After that will be Silver Wings for sure though.

Yay I’m so glad that you updated this story!
Jim was smart to listen to Sam about being a good man. It made Jim smart to be there for Pam, but to not jump the gun about telling her that he has feelings for her because the timing would have been all wrong. I do think that Sam and Beth are good for Jam because they can help him and Pam see things from a different perspective.
Please update soon!
Author's Response: That is entirely the point of Sam and Beth. Give Jim and Pam some outside perspective on how their lives are going right now. It's one of the biggest things Jim and Pam lacked in canon in my opinion so it's fun to explore in fics. Thanks for the review.
