You've rendered me speechless - and your trusty betas can tell you that is not an easy feat. ;) The picture you paint of the two of them is beyond lovely. Absolutely incredible. Post more soon!!!
Author's Response: lol wow a speechless xoxoxo!!! SO glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much ;-)

Another awesome chapter! I think you really hit so well on what makes Jam so great-they really are friends and they really do like each other, underneath the romantic and sexual tension. I've always believed the sign of a true life long friend is one that you can be away from and then pick back up like nothing happened, and I think Jim and Pam have that sort of connection. I do think they can pick back up after their estrangement of the past year, and be able to talk and laugh and enjoy each other's company again. Obviously, with other perks involved as well. :)
Author's Response:
yes to jim and pam picking back up and being better than ever! here's hoping the writers deliver that on September 27th... ;-)

wow....I can't believe I haven't commented on this story yet, but this chapter just blew me away...and forced me to comment.
This was beautiful. For some reason this is way hotter than the full on smut...although that might be coming up! Jim stroking Pam's palm and her forgetting what she was saying was just one of the most sensual things I've read...and then stroking her wrist! I feel all 18th century and repressed now! ha ha! I can't believe that just THAT got me all flustered.
Author's Response: THANK you!! Yeah I always like the pre-smut stuff better than the actual smut, clearly. I'm always going on in stories with these parts. lol thanks for reviewing.

At first I thought that "fuck slow" was a command instead of an exclamation! That would be a slightly different chapter ending, HA!
Author's Response: LMAO! Omg that would've been soooo weird!

This is what they call a sloooow burn. You are so great at setting the mood. I probably shouldn't have read this chapter at work. *blushes*
Author's Response: lol been there.

That was tense and sexy and delicious and I'm looking foward to the next chapter. :)

Good thing the next chapter is almost done because it was just cruel for you to stop there! Excellent work. I loved it.
Author's Response: ;-) Don't kill me when you read the next chapter.

O, wow. Wonderful chapter. I loved the easy banter, and then the tension, and his fingers caressing her palm, and then the kissing, wow the kissing. So vivid and yummy.
Author's Response: thanks! Glad you liked it

Wow. Just wow. Amazing how you can go from "Cause you like the hockey,” to the kissing underwater.
Mind blown. Must go now.
Author's Response:
;-) i know...don't quite know how that progressed, but it seemed right at the same time.

So, so very good! I cannot wait for the next part. The intensity and suspense of it all is killing me.

Sorry, work intervened there...This chapter is really lovely. I think you made their conversation believable and it was moving to see them actually be so open with one another. It is different than they were, but it is where they need to be; I like that you have them fight the urge to continue hiding and lying to each other. I don't think that it is something they can just turn off immediately and you showed that.
I also like that everything they said was loaded, seemingly innocent run of the mill statements like "I'm a risk taker" that aren't at all run of the mill in this situation and I like that they both hear the other person's subtext. Nice layering.
Now I have to ask, where did Barry come from? A little out of left field, but it works and I like that it lightened the mood for them. By the way, I always liked Mandy too. :-)
Author's Response: haha! It's funny, cause I had that dialogue running around in my head for a while, not necessarily for the Office stuff I write. But then I was wracking my brain for a way to finish this chapter and I thought, why not throw it in. Just thought it'd be cute and olden day Jim and Pam. Thanks for the review!! Glad you liked the subtext, I always like stuff like that.
Date: August 22, 2007 08:52 am Title: No apologies.
I was hoping you would update before I went on vacation - but happily instead I got TWO chapters when I got back. I adore the way you wrote Pam here. The way she talks herself into what she's going to do and oh la la that kissing scene. AWESOME. You really brought alot of emotion into that.
Can I just say the way that she let's Jim know that she knows who he is and she loves him, and the ferocity with which he responds to such acceptance is unbelievable. I think that's what he truly needs, someone who loves him for who he really is, and that's Pam.
This: No I thought you’d rather Dwight…” “Don’t…even say it,” is a really good moment between them. It harkens back to earlier moments in the relationship, kind of a reset and that's nice to see. I love the way that Jim makes her feel like the stars have a purpose. That's a beautiful thought. Now on the next one....
Author's Response: aw thank you. I love Pam validating Jim too. I think it's just so moving. And I'm glad you liked the throw back to earlier days ;-) Thanks for the awesome review!!!

Hee! What a great reason to not like Manilow.
“Wait, actually, I do. That was a lie,” I agree with Jim. This is an excellent new tick and completely in character for her.
Hmmm, I can't find the other sentences I wanted to quote because I just keep getting caught up in this chapter and get lost and forget I'm supposed to be looking. So, um, you know, nice job! HA!
Author's Response: haha thank you ;-) !! Yay for you liking it!
Date: August 20, 2007 10:44 pm Title: If the hell that is Dunder Mifflin hadn't intervened...
Ha ha ha ha! Okay, yes, I Write the Songs is pretty arrogant. But still - you can't not like Barry Manilow! What about Ships? What about Can't Smile without You? C'mon, Pam!
I'm still trying to figure out how you could make the word "constellation" in Scrabble. You have killed my brain. Is there an actual combination whereby you can play that, or are you just messing with me? Maybe if "stella" is a word, you could start with that and then build on it...gah. Killed.
Author's Response: LOL. I have no idea, it probably is impossible. I'm the Jim in this situation, not gonna lie. But you keep thinking about it and get back to me ;-)
Date: August 20, 2007 10:32 pm Title: To each his own
I love the explanation of why Pam wrote the note as a call back to notes from her mother. That was really sweet. And what Jim said about it--that it wasn't funny, but it was important--was just perfect.
And the Scrabble game is hilarious, because it's just like my boyfriend and me playing Scrabble together. He now refuses to play it with me because he says it feels like school. ;)
Author's Response: thanks ;-)

hmm.. i'm american... and i don't know ANY barry manilow songs. and i love pam interrupting myself. makes me feel cool cuz i do it too. ^_^ MORE!!!
Author's Response: lol you MUST know some barry manilow. I know you do. And yeah I definitely interrupt myself too ;-) Glad Pam can make us feel normal.
Date: August 18, 2007 11:16 pm Title: If the hell that is Dunder Mifflin hadn't intervened...
Oh...Stablegirl. So much about this is SO right on. Let me start at the end, and say that conversation about Barry Manilow - that totally read like canon. Absolutely a conversation that our beloved JAM would have! Way to go! And then, there's a moment when Jim is thinking about how much he likes that Pam calls her own bluff now when she knows she's lying! So great. And that it's SUCH a Pam thing to do! This is just GREAT!!!
Author's Response: haha thanks ;-) Glad you enjoyed it.
