Wow, this was an amazing chapter. I think we all knew there was SOME reason Jim is the way he is, and I think you depicted that perfectly. I'm probably just reiterating what others have said, but I think it's also fitting that Pam is still the one holding back, but she's still able to let go at the end here (so to speak). Great job!
Author's Response: I think in this story Pam has finally reached a point where she'll be a little less closed off - literally and figuratively. :) And once the thought of Jim being the "man of the house" idea got stuck in this silly brain of mine it would not let go. I'm glad you agreed with my imagination. ;)

I really appreciate the idea that Pam is still holding back and Jim is waiting for the other shoe to drop. It isn't going to be all puppies and flowers when (not if, WHEN) they get together. This backstory you've created for Jim is really, really true to what we know about him, and Pam's realization is also spot-on (because she can be dim when it comes to him, can't she?). This chapter was very nice.
Author's Response:
Most definitely WHEN. Thanks, you're totally understanding my intention in this. This is my "Pam's gotta step up" fic because that poor boy has nearly worn himself out. I'm so glad you liked it.

Oh, wow. Yeah, that is now my canon for why Jim is how he is.

Aw! Pam is getting back on my good side. The thought of Jim's father (dying? leaving?) when he was sixteen breaks my heart. This was wonderful. I absolutely cannot wait for the next chapter! I need to see how this all came to be. Don't keep us waiting for too long.
Author's Response: As I mentioned - I didn't want to get too much into it. I just knew that I wanted his father to be gone at some pivotal point in his life. You can fill in the blanks as you wish.
Author's Response:
Sorry! I hit submit too soon!! It breaks my heart too - I want them happy ASAP so am working as fast as I can!!
Thanks so much for all your reviews. I truly appreciate it!

Ok, you know how I said the last chapter was awesome--well this was more awesome. (Remember--me having a few drinks=incoherent reveiws). Anyway, I liked the thought of why Jim is the way he is--it fits him. And, though I like the smut, I like the way you will leave it up to the imagination as well. As usual, well done.
Author's Response: Still killing me - mostly because you sound very much like me when I drink and post. ;) You are not incoherent at all. I'm very glad you liked it.

Awesome. REally, I can't comment more. Mostly because I've had a few drinks, but more because, as usual, that was awesome. Nothing more needs to be said. And now I'm off to read the next chapter...

Boof - you are killing me.

You are SO good. Love all the details about his family and Pam's epiphany. I just love it.

What a warm and beautiful chapter - I love that Jim walked his sister down the aisle - and Pam's realizations of why Jim is the way he is. Just perfect.

Sigh.

Author's Response:
Did you really?? That's awesome. I actually recycled some of that from another story I wrote. I was worried that it wouldn't work. I'm glad you think it did.

Oh, lordy, that's probably more "tension" than "depression" but my gosh it was good.
Ah, Mama Beesly. We all have so much faith in you. Do not let us down.
Author's Response:
Yeah. I agree. But when I started to write I found I really couldn't do the whole "woe is me" thing. I'm glad you liked it.
Oh yeah - and word on the Mama Beesly thing. She'd better come through for us is all I'm saying. :)

Please tell me the next chapter is coming soon? This is almost as bad as waiting 4 months to find out what happens post- Jam kiss. ALMOST!
Author's Response: Yep. As a matter of fact it's already there. Just not the continuation of "Pam driving to Jim's" but I hope it'll do. ;)

Around the third time in as many days that Kellie Martin was abducted or addicted or accused of murder she rolled her eyes and found herself reaching for the phone.
HA! I'm sorry Pammy, but in the midst of your angst, I got a real laugh at that.
Another great chapter, xoxoxo!
Author's Response: HA! Well that is Lifetime in a nutshell isn't it? And I could have added abused in there I guess but poor Kellie gets tortured enough. LOL!

I know that poor Pam has sunk into depression, but I'm still so happy! Knowing that it ends up alright is so comforting, and I'm so excited for how he reacts. Also, I think that her mother helping her to come to her senses is extremely plausible, if not probable. This is just so good!
Author's Response:
Thanks proposals. I need Pam to grovel a bit. I think she owes him that much.
I love Pam's mom. Well. I love her for now. If I find out she let her daughter marry Roy I might have to change my opinion. ;)

Oh goody - another installment, just what I was hoping for this morning. Loved the Lifetime movie reference (clearly we think alike - see my first fic and you'll see what I mean!) Depressing or not, still captivating.
Author's Response:
Happy to oblige. I remember your Lifetime thing - (Valerie Bertinelli wasn't it??? Loved that!) It was on my mind actually due to Paul Lieberstein's recent interview - where he mentioned that his sister, who is also Greg Daniels' wife, is President of Lifetime. And yes. I manically read anything Office related and translate pieces of that info fanfic.
Now you know. ;)

Finally, she breaks down and is ready for acceptance. Yay! It is not as angsty as other chapters, but I think that is because she is at a point where she can't fight it anymore.
Dirty Little Secret is a beautiful song. I'm pretty sure it was the last song of the night when I saw her in concert. Awesome.
Author's Response:
Yep. that's the plan. I guess it's true - still I struggled with it.
Sarah McLachlan is quite possibly my all time favorite artist. So many of her songs haunt me. And I'm jealous. I missed her the last time she came to town and haven't seen her live in eons.

Oh wow -- just, wow. I held my breath through most of that. Love it that he stopped the elevator and grabbed her by the arms -- guh. I'd have smacked one on him right there, but then, I'm not Pam. Ahem.

Wow, she's really torturing our boy! :) Seriously though, I love where you're taking Pam in this - revealing her desire to be her own person so she can be an equal to Jim. She's going to throw him a bone soon though, right?
Author's Response:
I know! The poor guy!! I think that she definitely needs to do that. She's so stuck in a rut that I think it needs to happen.
And yes...she will. :)
