Pam is so strong in this. It is nice to see her like that. And to see Karen being so mature and understanding.
Nice work.

I like when Pam says “Do you honestly think, that I would be Okay with you wanting me now, after you rejected me a few months ago” and “I deserve to be loved for me, not because I’m the mother of your child and because you’re suddenly single”. Those are certainly really good points! I like her solution of a 3-bedroom, then it could work out over time or not, but there's time and space to sort it out.
Well played. (/Dwight)

wow! Congratulations, fasterthansnakes, you have just become my favorite author. Between Emma, A Fool's Bargain, the amazing Jackson, and now this beautiful and touching story, I am truly amazed by your story-telling. And, as a fellow hardworking grad-student, I am also in awe of how you find the time to be creative!

I really like how you didn't have Karen just going off in a huff (That's it! Here's your ring back!), which is an easy way to do it (and probably how I would have). I also like how Mrs. Halpert was so supportive of Karen and of everyone, really.
If anything, I'm more interested in this story than I was before!

I wanted to tell you how much I loved this part: “I just, I know that he won’t want to ever leave this town now. He has too much tying him here, and this isn’t what I wanted out of my life, selling paper in Pennsylvania. I had dreams and I thought he could be a part of the life I always wanted, but I’m afraid I can’t be a part of the life he’s going to want to live.”
Not because I'm a hardcore JAM shipper, but really because I loved that Karen looked at the situation kind of dispassionately, in regard to what she wants, and what Jim is sure to want, and how much compromise is too much? Plus, I can't see Karen staying in Scranton longterm, no matter what universe it is, so this turn of events is very believable to me.
You're a med student and you do all this awesome writing? I'm REALLY impressed. Can't wait for the next chapter!

I am SO sucked into this one! It's great!

Okay, so, I am actually teary right now, and that never happens to me. But I could just see that video in my head, and it's so easy to imagine how that would make Jim feel, and...gah! So good!

Of course I'm still reading and I think you did really well explaining this. I have been enjoying this story and I'm happy that you updated. Please don't make us wait so long for the next one....... :-)

Jim getting to know his daughter via an iPod is ingenious, really! And I didn't think Pam's explanation was confusing at all. Given the info that she had, I would have made the same assumption she did. And to think that assumption took her into a miserable marriage with Roy? How sad.
I'm really digging this, just as I do all your stories. More, please!

ok she explained...but I need details baby! I don't think we'll be deprived though :)

Yes, now it's all clear! Thanks.
Very interesting!

Wow. Totally still with you. Coming along for the ride.
Ooh, ooh, can Jim ditch Karen? Pretty please? Or vice-versa; I'm not picky.
Date: April 06, 2007 11:17 pm Title: When the Truth Kills
Totally with you. Totally excited for updates.

Good lord.
Poor, poor Pam. Poor everyone, really.
Yeah, you still got me! Can't wait to see where you are taking us. Update soon, please!
Date: April 06, 2007 06:57 pm Title: When the Truth Kills
Still with you, but I'm a little confused with the pronouns... Like, okay, in this line:
“I knew that I had to stop him, to stall him, because even though Roy told me that he had no intention of shooting him, Roy was too unpredictable drunk, so I stood in front of him and wouldn’t let him leave.”
Pam is talking about Roy intending to shoot Jim, right? And she's speaking to Jim, so why does she say "him" (the "him" I bolded)? There's another instance in this paragraph:
“Then he started getting even madder thinking that I was defending him, and I guess…I don’t know why maybe Roy heard something but he started saying that maybe he was in the house…that maybe I was still seeing him. I tried to convince Roy that he wasn’t here but then…Oh God…”
Maybe I'm just reading it wrong, but that didn't make sense to me. But other than that I'm still loving the story. :)
Author's Response:
sorry if it's confusing the premise is that Pam doesn't want Karen to know who Adele's real father is so she keeps his name ambigious. What happened is that Roy doesn't intend to shoot Jim but he's taking the gun to go scare him. Pam defends Jim which makes Roy even madder, then Roy hears a noise in the house and he starts thinking Jim is in the house (remember he's really drunk) and then Roy hears a crash and he fires in the direction of the crash accidentally.
It was confusing I know, sorry. Thanks so much for reading!!!!
