Angela, how can say no to Andy. He is so strangely sweet. :)
Author's Response: Exactly. I mean, the man sings and air-guitars Neil Diamond, and he bought you a cat pin. In the words of the man himself, "Come on!" There is no way Angela is going to resist that temptation. Thanks for this, and all of the reviews you left for this story EmilyHalpert, it's always a lovely surprise to have reviews a while after you post a story, and especially when its one that didn't have a wealth of them to begin with. Thanks again!

So, I don't really know how to use jumper cables and all that jazz. And I am not going to take lessons from Michael Scott.But my friend told me about these that you plug into the cigarette lighters, so I am excited about that.
Can you tell I am enjoying these?
Author's Response: Haha, well I'm definitely glad that you're enjoying them. I haven't heard about the ones with the cigarette lighter, but I actually know how to use them, so I'm good anyway. Thanks for review EmilyHalpert.

Ya know, I would go to church a lot more often in Dwight was there. And Andy - its wine. You can get drunk on it.
Hmm... am I a bad Catholic? hehe.
Author's Response: I wonder what Church with Dwight would be like. If I had to guess it would probably involve Dwight interrupting the speaker, then climbing on stage and giving a hellfire and damnation speech, while pounding his fists. Though, that's just me. Thanks for the review EmilyHalpert.

Oooooh, this warmed my heart! Now, if their romance had stayed like this on the show, I probably would have been a fan of Andy/Angela. This was so incredibly sweet and perfect and it totally encompassed everything good about Andy and Angela. This last chapter really put a goofy grin on my face, so sweet. Andy just knows how to get to her, and that last bit where he asks her to go caroling and she gets disgusted at the thought of Kevin being there, but then he says, "No, just the two of us, nobody else." Squeeeeeeeee!!! SO perfect. This whole fic was so many kinds of awesome and totally made my day. Loved it!
Author's Response: It took me a while to figure out a song that Andy could sing to Angela, but I thought "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon" fit pretty well. To me, some of the most romantic gestures aren't necessarily something overly grand or orchestrated, but simple, direct, and honest, so that's what I tried to show. Though, with Andy, you get a little of both, I guess. Thank you for all your reviews and your support of my little story. I know that Andy/Angela isn't the most popular fic-pairing, but I'm glad that you liked it, firthgal.

Oh, this one was quite romantic, actually! Andy is putting the moves on her in his own unique way. I can actually feel Angela's nervousness in this one, and her need to resist Andy but not quite being able to manage it. That moment where she almost held his hand, I was holding my breath! Oh, the suspense for such a subtle moment. I love how you keep inserting Andy's attraction to Angela in a very subtle way, rather than his usual blunt way of expressing his horniness to Jim and Dwight. I really do think that's more of a show for the guys, whereas in his head it's probably more understated. But yeah, it looks like Andy really got to Angela in this one. Excellent writing!
Author's Response: Yes, this one is where the romance really ramps up. I kinda liked the idea of Andy being or at least thinking that he was this gentlemenly knight swooping in to take care of Angela, his damsel in distress. And, of course, they are both nervous about what is happening, and not happening, which is basically what I tried to put into the hand-holding moment. Thanks for the review firthgal.

Oh, this was great! Loved seeing them outside of the office. Andy is such a smooth ladies man, hee. I adored his apprehension when he asked her out for coffee (I also love how he tried to kind of guilt her into it), and this line cracked me up:
“Yeah, no, that’s fine, because I’m actually busy after Church today too. I, uh, on weekends, rake leaves for the elderly.”
Totally an Andy response. Loved it. And Angela's talking head was so spot on with her complaining about Dwight, and you can see that she's starting to like Andy because he is the complete opposite of Dwight. So great.
Author's Response: Ha, I'm glad that you liked that line. Yeah, this was the hardest one to write because imagining Angela and Andy outside of the office was a little difficult. But, of course, the point was that he made the effort, unlike Dwight, who complains that "gas ain't free" about going to Church. Thanks for the review firthgal.

Oh, I am loving this! Absolutely perfect in every way. Andy's talking head cracked me up, and I love that you had him moonwalking over to Angela's desk. And that poster was just such an incredibly sweet gift for Angela. It shows his observant nature, and that he cares about what she likes. And I love the exchange about the rockin' babies/jazz babies and how he instantly changed what he liked just to match her, because that is so very Andy. So eager to please. Loved Angela's faint smile at the poster, and her gentle refusal of it. You can see that he's already wearing her down. And my heart broke for Andy when his smile disappeared and he rolled the poster back up. Oh, so sweet! Love it! Oh, and I also love that Andy is going to go caroling with Kevin and Kevin's only going for the cookies. Hee, perfect.
Author's Response: I'm so glad that you liked this chapter. What I tried to do was just set up the way that Andy tried to romance Angela (albeit unsuccessfully) and that he was cracking her armor a little bit. Or, as I said in the summary, he's basically working the wear down. Thank you for the review firthgal.

great story!
shows how Andy never gives up
I never knew he was such a romantic though
Author's Response: I admit he hasn't shown that side of himself too much on the show, but I see him as sort of being overly romantic even in his pursuit of a woman. Like buying 4 dozen roses instead of just a single dozen (for an example). But thanks for the kind words and the review JamLover101.

oh man the end Angela's talking head at the end was hilarious
spot on!
Author's Response: I had a lot of fun writing the talking heads for this story. I think that Andy and Angela have some of the most expressive ones out of all the characters. Thanks for the review JamLover101.

Oh my god, this is great! I was laughing throughout. You write Andy and Angela so well! I could actually see this scene playing out on the show. Can't wait for more :)
Author's Response: I'm glad that you enjoyed it, I had a lot of fun writing it. Thank you for your review shan21.
