Wistful--that's the word that comes to mind. The inner dialog is makes me sigh. Such a good job.

I start to question my motives for even applying for the transfer in the first place, because the more I think about it, the more I realize that I’ve never actually pictured myself going there. To be honest, I wanted to see her reaction. I thought maybe she’d call my bluff, or beg me not to go, or maybe tell me the one thing I’ve always wanted to hear. And just like that, I would stay.
I've always thought this was a big part of Jim's motivation for the transfer, Wendy, and you described it perfectly. And what do you mean, "time flies"? Jesus, you can't update fast enough for me!

Aww man do I love this story. I love how the first impressions of Pam is that she's precious. Cos it's true, she's totally gorgeous... lol. And that they're married! I'd probably think that too if I saw them. PLEASE update soon!

Nice.
You delivered this beautifully, and I'm oh-so proud and impressed with what you've done here. Bravo, bravo, dear SHWOP!!!

“You have to say ‘with my little eye.’”
“Pretty sure that's not an official rule .”
“Do it!” She demands, slapping me lightly on the elbow. She’s lucky she’s cute.
This is a perfect little exchange! I can hear both their voices and see Pam's grin. So good.
Another great chapter! Love Jim's heartfelt speech and Pam's "I don't mind." I can't wait for them to get to Stamford!

"She's lucky she's cute." I love that line for some reason. Probably because I'm sure that's what Jim thinks about Pam about a lot of things.
It's still awesome! I'm always so happy when I see the next chapter is up! I LOVE this story!

This is great! Love it. Very cute. Very JimPam.
May sound a bit weird, but I really like how we're in his head. I can actually imagine being him in those moments, the tension, what he's feeling.. blah blah blah :P. Very nice. Great story!

I love this story. Will you please update it right now? K, thanks.
Oh, by the way, just so you know... In Psychology we talked about the sleep cycle. People are most tired around the 3s and 4s of the day and most alert in the 9-11s. Just thought that might be helpful for your story!

Even if it doesn't take an hour, you have all the creative licensing you need. That was great, as always. Really sweet and honest.

PERFECT. You took this chapter in exactly the right direction, and I think you're laying the groundwork for some really important scenes to come. And I can't wait to see what you do with it all. :)
And congratulations on being the first person to ever write a "Jim gives a speech to Pam about his feelings" moment that sounded 100% true to character! For once, Jim doesn't sound like he's writing a term paper for Emo Studies 1050. :-P
Bravo, Swiff... bravo!

ok, full disclosure. i have been avoiding this when i check the updates page. i read the first section and just thought, well, it's cute but... and then i read it and now i'm in love with the story and at your mercy. this is adorable and brilliant. what a phenomenal read. can't wait for more.

Okay, I've been in a internet-less, fanfic-less, Office-less purgatory for the past few days, so this evoked quite a reaction from me. Imagine, if you will, a drowning man who has just broken the surface of the water and taken his first gulp of fresh air. Combine that with some sort of drug addict who has been suffering through withdrawls and has just gotten his fix. Add to that someone who has been in a third world country with the Peace Corps for a year, and is biting into his very first cheeseburger. Toss in a few hundred other various smiles, happy thoughts, blissful memories, and breakdancing unicorns, and you just might have an inkling of how wonderful I thought this was.
Now, who wants to drive to Stamford with these two? I do! :)

Last episode seemed to make this story even sadder because now I know that this is actually how he felt and they have to go through SO much when they really are perfect together! It's so sad!... I love it! poor Jim! i want to give him a hug... well I always want to give him a hug... look at him. Wow that's off topic. Anyway please update VERY soon! I get sad whenever I finish the chapter.

"Gotta love subtext."

Gotta love THIS text.

Can't tell you how thrilled I was to get a first look at this. Like if Dave Matthews called and asked me to give a listen to a new song. Okay, maybe I'd be a little more thrilled with Dave calling me...but, come on! I squealed when I saw you had them going to Stamford! Loved Jim freaking out because Pam's in the shower and I really loved that he lost his temper with her, but apologized immediately and she let it go right away, too. Can't wait for the road trip!

This was a great chapter! I love them in the kitchen together and the excellent tension. I can't believe they are going to drive 3 hours to Stamford after the night they've already had - can't wait to see what's next!

I'm in love with you... I’m really sorry if that’s weird for you to hear, but I needed you to hear it.
Um, but seriously, this chapter rocked my socks right off! The idea of going to Stamford with him is just amazing. I am so. flipping. excited.
And I know this was just a little detail, but I loved that he was trying to pick a CD without any hidden implications.

I love Jim's sassy little comments to himself. And thinking about Pam in his shower. Win.
“Pam, I think it’s pretty obvious I have no idea what the hell I’m doing.” Gotta love subtext. Yup. Another winner.

I'm pleasantly surprised with each chapter. It seems like such a daunting task to go through a day hour-by-hour, but you're doing it so gracefully (in an awkward Jim-and-Pam sort of way) and beautifully.
Date: October 20, 2007 07:52 pm Title: 4:00 AM
Gah! I think I let out a little whine when I got to the end of this chapter and there was no 'next' link for me to click!
I am loving this story; it's so heartbreaking and sweet and so very Jim and Pam. I'm eagerly anticipating the next twelve hours (did I do that math right? it's late here).
