you have some clever turns of phrase in here -- the crime scene clean-up, Jim "not holding his peace”.
Now how quick can Jim get to Arby's and to the Hilton?

What a treat to wake up to - there's just something about this story that totally sucks me in. Your Jim really has that intangible Jim-ish feel about him. ;-) And really good dialogue in this chapter - little things like Mark blurting out “Get the fuck out” when he hears what happened make it seem so natural. Okay...can't wait for more (Can Jim be a tiny, teeny, little bit of a vulture, lol?)
Author's Response: Hey Colette! Glad I've managed to suck you in (there's a weird TWSS there, but ... kinda' ew). I'm glad my Jim is Jim-ish enough. I always worry about that because Jim is just so perfect and if you don't get it spot on . . . there's just something missing. So it's good to hear that it works. And I'm glad you liked the Mark/Jim dialog (from you, the queen of really good dialog, that's quite a compliment). Mark was a lot of fun to write, which I didn't expect.
Now, when are we going to see a wonderful new fic from you, missy? I miss me some Colette-y goodness (because, as I've said before, no one does sexy Jim like you -- lucky girl!).

Yessss! I had to do something on the home computer before I left for work and I figured, what the hell, I'll check ... AND YOU POSTED ANOTHER CHAPTER! You have made my day!
I like how your Jim is realizing the enormit of what it meant to call off the wedding. I never thought the "real" Jim quite grasped it.

Yay! Yay yay yay yay yay!
I know Jim's not a vulture, but I'm so thrilled that he's going over to Pam's hotel room. Hooray!!!

“Haven’t you been that guy for, like, three years?”
So true and so funny! Love B n' C shoutout - hee! Really enjoyed hearing Pam's grandma's advice, too. Oh, I anticipate and look forward to Suite tension!

I'm officially addicted. Need a fix. Please post the jeans chapter!

Great chapters (sorry I've missed a few)--Yay Pam for going with your gut and not backing down--and yay for Jim for knowing just what to say and how to act!
I'm loving how this is unfolding and I can't wait to read more!

"Jim looked down at her, into her eyes that were so much like Pam’s. And he realized: she knew. She knew what was going on." I love this moment. It is so maternal and I can see it so vividly in my mind.
Author's Response: Thanks Crystalized! Glad you liked that bit.

I really enjoyed Pam's "Jim Sodoku" puzzle. That is so exactly how I would try and figure out what was happening in my brain. Glad that Pam is ultimatley relieved with her choice!

Excellent chapter- Pam's continuing confusion on the question of Jim's feelings is spot-on. The fact that she isn't confused about Roy or the fact that she stopped the wedding gives me hope that we will get JAM in the next chapter??? (hint-hint beg-beg)
Update soon Please!
Author's Response: Oh, I'm sure I've got a little tasty Jam-sicle up my sleeve ;-) Pretty soon. Patience, grasshopper! Thanks so much for your review!

great job...glad that pam separates her feelings with calling off her wedding...can't wait to read more!!

I like how you've written Pam's mom. Sometimes she gets written as more of a BFF than an actual mom-type person, but I think her support of Pam in this chapter was great. Just what I hoped for.
And now I hope for the phone call to Jim. Woo!
Author's Response: Thanks! Glad her mom worked. Hmmm. That phone call . . . better get working on that, huh? Thanks for your review!

I'm always happy to leave a review, wendolf, especially for work as good as yours--and especially when you reference one of my "desert-island" movies: Four Weddings and a Funeral. I'm surprised that I didn't think of that myself when Jim "ahemed." Can a David Cassidy reference be far behind? I hope you have some more updates in you today. I know I'm greedy, but I just can't help it. You've spoiled me. I know my son would spend hours watching Full House. Just a suggestion...
Author's Response: Thanks, Nan. I really appreciate it. Yeah, I think Four Weddings is one of my favorites, too (although I think Andie MacDowell was poorly cast...). Hopefully I'll have more soon. Thanks for reviewing!

Yes, Pam, DO THE MATH!!! Don't marry duckface!!!
Author's Response: Hee! BTW, lisahoo, thanks for keeping my stories in the loop in the MTT forums -- I really appreciate it!

Ooooh. I really like this story. I don't know if this scenario has been presented before or not, but I haven't seen it until now and I think you're doing a fantastic job with it.
And for what it's worth, I think the interaction in this chapter worked really well. I like that neither of them made any big proclamations, because that wouldn't fit with who they are and where their comfort level was at that point in the show. I think the best fic fits itself to established characterization, even when the plot meanders off canon a bit.
I'm really enjoying the story and I hope you have time to update again soon. :)
Author's Response: Glad you liked the interaction in this chapter. I always wonder if I'm true enough to the characters, so I'm glad it seemed plausible. Thanks for reading and reviewing, invis!

I vote for the SpongeBob marathon. They're only kids once. :-)
Seriously, I love your stories, all of them. You make Jim & Pam seem so real, and so lovable. You don't gloss over the angsty stuff, but you don't dwell on it, and you always make them so sweet together.
Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Thanks, grapejelly. Yeah, I love angst from time to time, but too much can just sort of rip your heart out, can't it? Thanks for reading and reviewing! I'm slow in my responses, but I do appreciate every review!

Wendolf, this is just phenomenal writing. I am going over and over it, looking for a quote to pick out as "my favorite." But I just can't. There's nothing I would redact and nothing to be added. It is simply perfect. You have a gift, my friend. A real gift.
Author's Response: Wow. That is such a huge compliment VB. Seriously. I'm so glad you're enjoying it and I truly appreciate your thoughts and comments!

"Didn’t Buddah or Sting or someone say something about “if you love someone, set them free…”?
Ah, that was bullshit."

Three words: Sponge Bob Marathon. That'll keep the kiddies distracted and give you time to update this most AWESOMEST fic! :)

Stupid Roy! He sends Jim in to talk to her! That tells you right there he's clueless!

So, I go away for a couple of days and you've posted four (!) chapters of a whole new story?!? You're making the rest of us look lazy - but, please don't stop. Briefly, (cause I'm kind of on the fly here) - I'm a major Graduate flan, so love all the refs there (very apt) and there were too many moments for me to cite right now, but this line really made me laugh: Didn’t Buddah or Sting or someone say something about “if you love someone, set them free…”? Will try to leave a more coherent review next time.
So, I say spike those pesky kids drinks so they crash early and hit the keyboard, missy. (Just kidding. Sort of.)
Author's Response: I'm making you all look sane, I think! I get scarily obsessed, and I think I freak out my family sometimes ... but oh well. I haven't seen the Graduate in YEARS so I hope I got the facts right. Thanks, as always for your comments! Glad you're enjoying this new one. When we gonna' get a new one from you (hint, hint)? I miss me some writing deliciousness from Colette ...

I think this rings true -- I wouldn't expect Jim to know what to do in this situation, so for him to stumble a bit is natural. They both need to get their bearings in light of the latest development. ;o)
Author's Response: Yeah, that's not like something we experience every day, is it? The person you're secretly in love with calling off their wedding? And the fiance asks you to talk to the secret love? Not sure there's a guide book for that ;-) Thanks for reviewing, as always, lisahoo!
