Eeeeek! Pam! I hope she's okay!
So many great lines in this. Fabulous nicknames: Morning After Jim is awesome. And I love all of Michael's names for Pam: Pontiac Trans Pam, El Pamino, Toyota Pamry - heeeee!
This line from Jim was hilarious: "When the time is right, if you’re not completely enamored with Creed, maybe I’ll ask you out on a date.” LOL!
Loving the story.
Author's Response: I have a problem--I think I may be a Michael Scott. Because I make myself laugh every time I pass an El Camino. . . . I appreciate the review, and your appreciation for Pam's secret thing for Creed revealed! ;-)

That was beautiful, and I'm so glad to hear there's more! Some of my favorite lines:
“Remember we were friends?” Heartbreaking!
“Say more,” he whispered. Aw, Jim! Unbelievably sweet.
“You’re breaking my heart, Beesly.” See comment above. Awww! :)
“Don’t let this be a dream, Pam,” he whispered. “It’s been so damn hard without you.” Gah! I know! It's been hard for us, too!
Such a great story. I'll have lovely dreams tonight thanks to you!
Author's Response: Thanks for the warm fuzzies--it means a lot to me that you took the time to write this. :-)

Boy, the Jim/Pam developments in this chapter scream "it's all good" to me -- so why do I feel like I'm waiting for the other show to drop when I remember this line:
Maybe some mornings were just destined to end badly.
Yikes! More, please! Adding to favorites so I don't miss when you update.
Author's Response: Thanks for adding me! It's taking me a bit to get the second chapter posted, but it's done now, and I'm having a much easier time with the ones that follow. Watch for updates soon! :-)

I loved this chapter - it won't take 2 or 3 chapters for it to be interesting as your A/N say, this was very interesting! I'm kind of nervous to see what happened the morning the story opens, since Pam says it doesn't end well. Please update soon!!
Author's Response:
Thanks for taking the time to review--your comments are like little silver bunnies with diamond eyes prancing around my soul!
Wow. did I just reach a new level of creepy? You can disregard the little diamond eyes.

Absolutely beautiful.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! Your comment made me giggle and blush.

I*love* it! Please write more soon!
Author's Response: Sorry it took me so long to post the second one--I suddenly had a life! It was really disorienting.

Oh, lovely. Some really, really beautiful writing here.
Author's Response: You can thank my black lab retriever or that--I had her type it out, and I think she added some stuff. Maybe I should insert a "Dictated, not Read" disclaimer on there?

Wow, that was wonderful. This: “Say more,” he whispered. - HOT, whispery, throaty JimVoice does things to me.
This: “You’re breaking my heart, Beesly.” - killed me, dead. I type with zombie fingers.
I could quote half a dozen more lines, but I won't. But, I loved both of them talking about how it's just too hard without the other, and Pam's line about feeling too old.
Really great work.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I really appreciate the encouragement. I'm waiting to post the second one, but once that's up, the others should follow suit quickly. I hope you enjoy the following chapters as well.

tiny drops of anguish abandoning him as he stroked her hair.
Oh, I love the idea of the anguish just leaking away. *sigh* It can't be this easy, can it? This direct and open? I hope it will be. I love this.

I'm glad you're going to continue. I really liked “You’re breaking my heart, Beesly.”
It seems at the end they were just talking on the bed, so I'm not sure why Pam would have taken his shirt off. I would think disrobing of any kind would lead to more disrobing, no? Or at least, shirt for shirt, right? Maybe just me.
Anyway, I like your take on this!
Author's Response: I've got to be honest . . . there was absolutely no need for it. I just couldn't have him *not* shirtless. It's the giggly fangirl in me. ;-) Thanks for the review.

Oohh, I can't wait to see where this goes. What will happen in three days? Update soon. Like, now.

I like it and am really excited for the next installment!
Nice work!

aw! That was so sweet! Sometimes good things do happen to good people!

This was really insightful: He knew what she wanted to say. More importantly, he understood why she wouldn’t. After all, Pam wasn’t like him. Pam was different. Pam was so, so, so—and God, he should have— Jim realizing that Pam handles things differently than he does, and that she couldn't give him the answer he wanted right away -- something he needs to realize so they can reconnect.
I'm looking forward to more of this!!
Author's Response:
I've always thought that saying "I love you" is something Pam can say only when she's not really thinking about it--after years of saying it to Roy without it meaning what it should have, she doesn't feel it really does justice to what she feels, and she's afraid of that sentence sort of morphing things in a Roy-esque direction, among other things. She can't say it if she's really thinking about it--but maybe she'll get over that, eventually. Thanks for reading!

I really liked this. I like this kind of honest quietness between them - rather than the big fight and blow out we all expect. Good job :)

I'm loving this! Keep it going.

I really like this. You opened the story in a very original way, and I'm anxious to see where it goes next. Great descriptions and fabulous work on making that moment between Jim and Pam really come alive. I can't wait for more! -CH

“You’re breaking my heart, Beesly.”
Mine too! I loved this, please more!

That was really nice. I think you really captured the voice of Pam-with-her-courage-screwed-up, and Jim, not really feeling it with Karen (or his entire life!) but not wanting to be rash or cruel.
I can't wait to see where you go with this.
