Yes! That's what Pam needed to do, early in season 3! Great job on the last chapter. It was easy to tell who was whom.

I just found this story thanks to LJ -- I've read a ton of Pam/Jim confrontations, and this one is one of the most plausible. I love that Pam finally lets Jim have it for his wild expectations. And that she digs deep to summon up the courage to say to Jim how she feels. Very true to character.

Man, this fight is SO satisfying. That he's been punishing her since that night is such a great insight.

Great story! I loved the talking heads at the end!

Ha ha ha! Great job with the epilogue -- the character voices are so spot-on that you don't need labels to know who is talking. Fantastic story.

Really, really, really, REALLY good. Two things made this great to me. The first was that you presented a Pam argument that I never really considered before. I now have a better understanding of what might be going thru her head. It's way easier to blame Pam for this (even though she should share in it) than Jim; but now I see it a little differently. And the second reason is that you showed what I think to be true. Pam's incredible fear of telling JIm " I love you." That will be a monumental moment in the show and you made it feel that way in your writing. Excellent! And the Office talking heads at the end are great!

This is great!
My one quibble is with Stanley's bit; I doubt he would say this much. I could see him saying the first and third sentences, or maybe even just an "I don't care" with a drawn-out I, in that Eeyore way of his. (I love Stanley scenes.)
If Michael's speech were on the real show, you would have The Great Intubater on TWoP or the NBC board the very next day. That's so funny and so Michael.
Everyone but Stanley I thought was spot-on and I recognized their "voices" right away. Dwight's TH with "- idiot - " slipped in there was so funny.
Ryan's really cracked me up to.
Thanks for this story. It was so much fun to read. And, you know, I don't care at this point on the real show if there's a fight or not, if there's a confession or not, if we see it or not, just get these two together!! Thank goodness we have fanfic and stories like this to relieve our stress!
Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah, I stared at the Stanley line for a while... am still messing with it, actually. His and Ryan's, so I'm glad Ryan's seemed ok.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for reading... it's nice to have an outlet while they keep slapping us with reruns. God, what will i do this summer? ;)

Author's Response: Aw, thanks for reading it. :D

This chapter was really beautiful (even the last line- Pam's eyes glowing in the moonlight- what a great image!). I can picture the outdoor setting perfectly, and I think you hit exactly the right notes as far as their conversation, how much needed to be said, and how much could be understood. I'm a big fan of less angst is more when it comes to the conversation where Jim and Pam finally understand each other- and to me, this was practically perfect (very few tears, yay!). I also like seeing things from Jim's perspective- that's a nice touch. So, well done!
Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, I'm all about less angst at this point! Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for reading. :D

Sigh. Perfect. I am in love with Jim and Pam in love with each other. And your writing is fantastic. It's descriptive and minimalist at the same time. Some favorite lines:
It hits you then, for as long as you've known her, you've seen Pam exactly three ways: in work clothes (everyday), in jeans (twice), and in a blue dress (once and always).
You know this is it, you're done. Forever.
"How old are you?" She kisses you then, but it's more like teasing, and she pulls away, grinning triumphantly. "Wow..." you have a little trouble breathing, "so... old enough." So fabulous. I just loved every moment of it.

This chapter is amazing. I've seen Pam say similar things in other fanfics, but often (not always) she says too much, or too eloquently. Or, she has a whole paragraph or two to say before Jim speaks. You've done this very realistically.
Also, my heart was kinda pounding reading this. It was angsty in the very best way possible.
This line: "...she says the word ‘engaged' like you've never heard it before, like you should have looked it up in the dictionary before you came into the kitchen" is just incredibly good.
Author's Response: Yeah, I'm a huge believer in the fact that Pam's not suddenly going to have every word available to her at the moment she tells Jim how she feels. Greg and the gang may prove her wrong, but eloquence at times like that, don't really seem to suit her.
I liked that line too, it stuck out to me as I reread.
Thanks for all the reviews.

Oh wow, that was marvelous. All of it. Angry Pam was great, loving Pam was great, stunned Jim was great, hopeful Jim was great. Wonderful work.

You make some really good points in here about Pam's frustration; he shouldn't be mad at her for doing just what he would have done in the same situation. Great job reading the characters and making them seem real; keep it up! --CH

Go Pam!!! Thank you for finally letting her break! Write fast!

Snap. Jim just got owned by Pam, and I loved every minute of it. Seriously, as mad as I was that Pam didn't just leave Roy right then and there on Casino Nights, she makes such good points in this piece that for once I'm thinking "That's right! Tell 'em girl!" Very very well done, you rock :)

I may have already commented on this, but I'm reading it again so I wanted to say (or re-say) "Wow." This exchange is great:
"Should I even ask where his motivation came from?"
"The French." She says simply.
"Ah," you reply, somehow knowing exactly what she means.
"Well, I guess..." You step away, pointing stupidly at your lunch bag, like it will finish the sentence for you.
And this is just...perfect:
"You don't get to punish me anymore." Her voice is steady, quiet. Strong. And you realize, if she wasn't ripping you inside out... again, you'd be proud of her. Just...perfect. I can't get it to un-italicize. I don't freakin' know why. Sorry.

And that is the fight that I have been waiting for. Can't wait for more.
