Yay! Never too early for JAM!

Author's Response: Well, I certainly agree! Thank you for reading!

Yay! A big and bold step from Pam. One that matches the energy Jim brought. I can tell he was very excited to show her the listing. Then when she starts suggesting more than just a simple apartment hunt one can almost feel the usual warning signs going off in his head. They've been a part of him for so long I'm sure it would be hard to just turn them off. That is until Pam's statement there. Love the twisting around of the canon line. That was probably just as much of a mental tire-screeching halt to anything going on in Jim's mind as when she said she and Roy were no longer a thing.

Really like that Pam's also gotten the clarity about her feelings for Jim. That those feelings are real. That there's not feelings of a rebound or anything like that either. Great to see her some to that perspective on her own as well. Love me some good healthy Pam growth.

Well out of jellybeans by now, but this would have gotten one. Can't wait for more.

Author's Response: You have such thoughtful comments that I really wish I could do them justice here in the replies. Thanks for the careful reading, and even though next chapter is a bit of a slowing of the plot pacing I hope you enjoy it!
