Oh! If only! For some reason, I really like the title of this chapter, and the chapter itself didn't disappoint. Now I'm on the edge of my seat!
Author's Response: Thanks, NanReg! I really had fun coming up with the chapter titles. I'll be updating soon...thank you so much for reviewing, I really appreciate it!

"PAM!" She stopped. And she turned to look at him
Dude! You can't stop here!! Ir eally hope you continue, because I'll not be a happy reader if you do! :) Lovely job so far! I love the thoughts and the inner meanings before their words b/c we all know how much Jim/Pam don't say but their meaning comes through oh so well in their actions/faces. Lovely job! Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: WildBerryJam, I hope you will keep reading! I'm home unexpectedly and will update. I hope it doesn't disappoint...**nervous**...thanks for reading and reviewing!

"She's skittering out of here, folded up on herself....." I loved Jim's description of Pam leaving. And I loved his "Enough."
Author's Response: Thank you so much, kaystar. I'm so grateful that you're staying with the story. I appreciate your review. And yes...Pam only 'folds' for Jim...***sigh*** ;)

what a great fic... can't wait to read more. Very well written
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Mirielle. I was going to try to post a chapter a day, but it's going a bit faster than that, I guess. I hope you will keep reading. Thanks so much for reviewing, and for your encouraging words!

Ow. Love how the words to "Message in a Bottle" underscore the heartache. Nicely done.
Author's Response: Thanks so much, lisahoo. Yeah, it occurred to me after several rewatches that "a year has passed since I wrote my note" was pretty much true for Jim, at that point. (Those brilliant Office writers. **sigh**) :) Thanks so much for reading and reviewing.

I am really enjoying this story. I know it's been done before but stories that veer from canon to get Jim & Pam together another way are my favorites. Looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, MoraDae. I'm glad you're enjoying it. I agree, I like to start with canon and veer off a bit. ;) I sure have enjoyed writing this story and I'm really grateful that you have read and reviewed. Thanks again!

"I'm not sure that it is, and I'm sorry if it's bothering you. That's my biggest regret." Diane paused. "But I'm not sorry that I said that to Karen."
I love how this echoes what Pam said to Karen after BG, except of course it can't echo since BG hasn't happened yet. But Mrs. Beesley's apology to Pam was great.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, kaystar! I guess Pam and her mother are very alike. ;) I still think Pam's mom had a little bit of the momma bear going on. I hope you will keep reading!

Poor Pam! And now I love her mother even more. I'm really enjoying this. Thanks for the update.
Author's Response: Thank you NanReg, I'm glad you're enjoying it! Yes, Pam is sad. But Jim is too. **sigh** I hope you will keep reading...thanks again!

Still going strong here and it's wonderful. I can't wait for more. I loved your description of Jim's emotions, it was really moving and you also handing the five way conversation so well. Love Pam's mom!!!
Author's Response: uncgirl, your review is SO encouraging--thank you. I really hope you enjoy the rest as well. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Seriously you have all mothers down perfect here. I know it is so sad to read Pam's thoughts, but the humor in between made me laugh out loud. Terrific! I also squeed with I realized there was a chap 2 already up!!!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, uncgirl. I'm glad there was some levity too. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Aw, Pam, my heart is breaking at her subtext. Ow.
P.S. A chapter a day? YES!!!
Author's Response: Yes, the story it pretty much done, just refining as I go. Thank so much for reading and reviewing, lisahoo!

"Hey, Michael, can I talk to you about something?"
I totally flashed to CN Jim as I read that line.
I just loved Pam's mom meeting Karen, especially her acting as though she didn't know who she was at first.
Date: December 09, 2007 08:17 pm Title: Hidden Meaning
What a great beginning. This reminded me so much of similar conversations and silent thoughts I've had with my daughter.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, kaystar. I'm glad it seemed realistic...I have a daughter who's too young for ** yet...but I know it's coming. ;) Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Date: December 09, 2007 04:39 pm Title: Watching, Feeling, Knowing, Ignoring
I really like this and it seems totally like Pam to not tell her mom everything and for them to talk in subtext. And that was spot-on Michael. Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, JamLover! I am really glad to hear that you thought Michael was spot-on...he was not easy for me to write. Thanks for the review, and for reading...I really appreciate it!
Date: December 09, 2007 03:00 pm Title: Watching, Feeling, Knowing, Ignoring
ooooo! and to quote michael "awk-waaard". this story is great so far!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I hope my later chapters will be OK too...it gets a little heavier. But hopefully in a good way....thanks for reading and reviewing, I really appreciate it!

I'm liking this a lot; your italicized subnotes are perfect for building tension, and I can't wait to see where this goes! -CH
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Becky! I hope you will enjoy the rest as well. *nervous* ;) Thank you for reading and reviewing!
Date: December 09, 2007 02:26 pm Title: Watching, Feeling, Knowing, Ignoring
HA! Yes! Go Pam's Mom! I really like the way this written, with a kind of "banter" between what everyone says outloud then *what they are thinking*
Author's Response: Yah, momma bear comes out there a little at the end of chapter two. ;) Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Date: December 09, 2007 02:20 pm Title: Watching, Feeling, Knowing, Ignoring
This is so good! Just read the first two chapters and am looking forward to the rest. I have a softspot for stories that include Pam's mom, and you really portrayed her well.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, NanReg. Pam's mom got something like two minutes of airtime on the show, yet I really like her too (obviously). She's got to be at least some of the reason Pam's so great, right? ;) Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I really appreciate it!
