All because of a shirt. Because they were so madly in love he didn't want to leave her. Totally plausible and makes me go :D :D (yes, I grow two heads when I get happy)
"utterly exhausted" hmm, they just were asleep? why could they be exhausted ;)
OMG... because.... all I've got is smiles. Like. This makes me so happy. My entire body is happy, even my toes.
He has a ring. He's had the ring. It is perfect.

This story totally kicked my ass. So sweet and hot to think of surprises in - or, ahem, near, Jim's pocket.

I've watched this episode about 5 times on the NBC website now, just to watch him take that ring out of his pocket. I can't believe you wrote that so fast, but it's wonderful! Thanks for writing it, because I loved it. --Strider

Oh, I hope this is just the start of a boatload of "How Jim Bought the Ring" fics. Just a lovely story, especially the line about how getting engaged will bring him to his knees even more than her. Love how he just knows, like he talked about in Launch Party. And calling Jon afterwards to share the news was perfect.

I don't think I've ever SQUEEd so hard as when Jim took that ring out of his pocket. My roommate actually came running into my room.
Anyway, I totally shared your thought that after a week, the ring must have been an impulse buy but ....omg I can't wait til the episode when he actually proposes!!!!
I hope you write a proposal scene as well.

I am grinning like the biggest loon EVER. This is so well-done. Love the brother phone call at the end.

ok, i love it. i love that Jim has a ring and now we get to read real fanfiction about it b/c it's based on the show and not just our fan-giddiness. and you've done a great job of giving us a reason why. b/c he needed a new clean shirt b/c he hadn't done laundry b/c he'd been spending all of his time with pam. in bed. :)

Your title KICKS ASS. And I just know Jim has been thinking of what ring he'd give Pam since S1. Nicely done.

EXCELLENT. Wow, that was REALLY good. You are out of the gate quickly on the other inevitable ring stories and yours is GREAT!

Yay!! I'm so glad you wrote this!! This fits in with the episode perfectly -- even down to Jim's messy living habits. Heehee! Aww to his voice cracking as he asked for engagement rings, and of course, any mention of Kelly makes me smile. Such a sweet sweet story.
P.S. Wow that was quick. =)
