"I realized I wanted more than that." What a perfect way for Pam to let Jim know. Thanks for such a sweet and uplifting story for my Jammy heart.

I love that smile from Casino Night while they are playing cards. It really is so huge and bright and happy. Both of them in that scene. They refered to it as the smile off in the commentary adn it is so true.
I love Pam's subtle flirtiness.
She did say that. She said she wanted more than that. :D
*happy sigh* This should have appened post Business School. This was great.

*deep satisfied sigh*
I'm SO GLAD you posted this! I seriously love so much about it. Let's start with ham and cheese. I love this little detail about how turkey is unappetizing and he wants to go back to his fav sandwich, because yeah, we know that ham rhymes with Pam and that's what's what (I've slipped into Michael Scott ghetto-speak)
Then there's Brave!Pam, whom I love more than I can express. You have her say some very brave things in here that actually make me gasp.
And when Jim says this-- "Please don't do this to me." It just breaks my heart. It's so honest and wounded and it still makes me tear up (and I've already read this a few times, as you know).
Finally, "Thank God." Such a wonderful thing for Jim to say. Like an exhalation. It's like he's been painfully holding his breath all this time and now he can finally let it go. Oh, I just love it!!
YOU ROCK MY SOCKS OFF

Thank you so much for this! It was so sweet and heartfelt! I really hope these two crazy kids work it all out, and soon!
Author's Response: Oh, don't we all! Thanks so much for the review!

Oh. I just...sigh. That was so perfect. Last line was wonderful. ALL of it was wonderful. I really liked these lines:
He was rewarded with the brightest smile he'd seen from her since Texas Hold 'em.
"This desk has a lot of history."
"I realized I wanted more than that."
So, so great. I just loved it.
Author's Response: Yay! I'm glad you liked it! Thanks so much! I'm really glad that you (and a few others I think) got the Texas Hold 'em line. I guess it's pretty obvious, but I was a little worried that it didn't make as much sense to others as it did to me in my head. So, yeah. Thanks again!

So sweet. I love torn apart, distaught Jim. And flirty Pam's pretty fun, too. Nice work!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!

I love this line:

I love Courageous!Pam in this story. I want more TN style courage from her for the rest of the season. Now that they seem to be past the breakroom awkwardness, I want Pam to "fight for love."
I'm glad you were courageous too and decided to post this. :)

Oh, if only! Honest Pam really needs to come out to play like this before the finale, or I might die. This was the perfect remedy to keep me going until she does.
One tiny disorienting typo: "he felt her lips press into his cheek and her arms go around her neck"
Author's Response: Oooh! Thanks for catching that! It's fixed now. Thanks for the review!

I hope this happens just like that on the show (wishful thinking I know)
Great Job!

So do I... So do I.
Thanks!

Now why can't Pam just be like this on the show? Honestly, if that girl would just read a little fanfic, and we wouldn't have a problem!
This was the perfect mix of "owww" and "awww." I loved how you classified Jim's sleeping patterns with Jam events.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it! Thanks so much!

This is really nice. I was very much captured by the lines: "Alliances and Sun Chips and redactions came to mind.
Blue dresses and parking lots were in a totally different league."
You don't explain why Jim has his old desk back; I was curious about that. It certainly would be more difficult for Jim to "move on" (ha!) from his old desk.
Pam wanting "more than that" and this line "Getting up from his desk, wandering over to reception, telling Kelly to excuse them, and dragging Pam out to the front hallway all seemed to happen apart from Jim, without much thought or decision on his part." were fantastic. I can imagine Kelly's hand-clapping response to this!
And hooray for this kind of honesty and courage on Pam's part. Let's hope we see even a fraction of this on the show - this season!
Good job.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Sorry if the desk bit was confusing. I think I wrote, or atleast thought this up, shortly after Business School and I think I'd gotten it set in my head that the seating arrangement would just fix itself when Ryan got sent to the back. Alas, I was wrong. Sorry I didn't point that out! But thanks again for your response!
