Another fab chapter! You teased us with the smudge on the forehead - i thought more would come of that!!
Author's Response: I am a tease. I can't help it. I hope the ending leaves everybody satisfied and smiling.

Oh, these little short chapters are such teasers!! Thank goodness you're updating with lightning speed 'cause I don't think I could otherwise breathe! :)
Author's Response: I like to make sure that my readers make it out alive.

Another fast update! That was a great chapter. I am really loving Maddie. She is one smart cookie!
Author's Response: It seems like everyone but Jim and Pam knows what's going on. They're slow, like Kevin. :b

another great chapter
Author's Response: Why thank you very much. :)

First off, love that song. It's been stuck in my head all day and then you go and name a chapter after it. I don't think it will be leaving any time soon : ) This chapter gave me butterflies. I loved the tension during the "icing interlude" and then Maddie and Jim's interaction. Really sweet.
Author's Response: It's such a great song. The whole album is fantastic really. Not a bad thing to have stuck in your head. And I will now forever refer to that bit as the "icing interlude." Fantastic. I'm glad you liked it. :)

I really like where this story is going. I get really excited when I see you've updated.
Author's Response: Yay for being excited. :) I'm glad you're liking it.

Just kiss already!!
Author's Response: If only it were so simple... (which, technically it could be, but I just can't resist angst).

I'm getting anxious for some serious talking. I think it's time for them to get into it!
Author's Response: They'll get to it, don't worry. :)

"No, nothing," he said. He added quietly, "I wasn't expecting anything more from you." *big HUGE sigh* Have I mentioned lately how much I love this story, these little moments? Well, I do...very much.
Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoy it. :)
Date: June 05, 2008 05:09 am Title: are we getting closer or are we just getting more lost?
I am loving this story! Well done to Jim for calling her on her evasiveness! Poor Pam! Look forward to reading more (there is going to be more, right?!).
Author's Response: There will be plenty more. Lots more. I'm glad you're loving it. :)
Date: June 05, 2008 04:15 am Title: are we getting closer or are we just getting more lost?
Oooh! Angst. Nice. I'm afraid to write angst in my story because I'm afraid I won't do it well. Great great job.
Also, I loved "Lofty". That made me laugh!
Author's Response: For some reason I just can't get away from angst. Although I usually reserve the worst of it for Angela, poor gal.
Date: June 04, 2008 09:32 pm Title: let's not forget ourselves, good friend
Gah! I read all 16 chapters at once and got left hanging in the angst! I have to tell you the "masta" beta part made me guffaw out loud, really loud. Thanks for the belly laugh!
Author's Response: I wish I could say that Masta the beta fish was purely fictional, but it is not. There was a real life Masta (not my fish, thankfully. My fish's name was Rupert.) It always made me chuckle.

ha! Pam Anderson I have never thought about that
Author's Response: I can't see Pam as a Pam Anderson. Does not compute.

aw embarassed jim! love the dress!
Author's Response: That dress is fantastic. I want one. But enough of the fabulous dress I dream of having - thanks for reviewing! :)
Date: June 04, 2008 08:39 pm Title: are we getting closer or are we just getting more lost?
Oh, so this is how it's going to be -- mac and cheese with a side of angst. OK. Play dirty, why dontcha....
Author's Response: I give and I taketh away. I'm going to be the co-manager of Hotel Hell soon enough.
Date: June 04, 2008 08:36 pm Title: are we getting closer or are we just getting more lost?
Loving these fast updates! This is a great line:
He knew that whatever he said next had the possibility to bury him, so he played it cool.
I definitely can see Jim's always having to do this little mental dance. Very nice.
Author's Response: Jim always has to be on his toes.

I really like the way you're developing Pam & Jim in this story. I'm very much looking forward to more chapters! (And eliminating Roy??)
Author's Response: It sounds like you want me to kill Roy, haha. More chapters (and Roy's untimely death?) will be coming soon! Thanks for reviewing. :)
Date: June 04, 2008 05:46 pm Title: i'll be your mirror, reflect what you are in case you don't know
I'm into this hook, line, and sinker! Thanks for updating so quickly. Lovin' every minute of reading this! :) Maddie's the little "I see what's going on between you too" lady. I want to see a little more of her subtle charm.
Author's Response: You'll get to see a little more of Maddie soon. I'm glad you're enjoying the story, and thanks for reviewing. :)
Date: June 04, 2008 01:39 pm Title: i'll be your mirror, reflect what you are in case you don't know
One of them needs to just jump the other already. The waiting is going to kill me.
Author's Response: Well, I certainly hope you don't die before the end. Thanks for reviewing. :)
Date: June 04, 2008 01:17 pm Title: i'll be your mirror, reflect what you are in case you don't know
OK, so I'm completely and totally swept up in this story. Love the interaction between Jim and Pam. I am just grinning now at the thought of PB&J pancakes and antiques. I'm addicted, so keep those updates coming! For your efforts, I promise to keep enthusiastically reviewing.
Author's Response: After writing this, I had such a craving for PB&J pancakes. Delicious. Anywho, I'm glad you're enjoying this. I know I'm having fun. :)
Date: June 04, 2008 12:32 pm Title: i'll be your mirror, reflect what you are in case you don't know
Nice chapter. Jim is a sweetie.
And I think Pam would call her paintings her 'artwork', her work or something more pedestrian. I think think calling it 'her art' is kind of stilted. But I'm really enjoying this.
How quickly can Pam get an annulment? Hmm...
Author's Response: I have spent a some time looking up information on divorce and annulment procedures in Pennsylvania. The buzz words are "irretrievably broken" (and you may be hearing that phrase again here... dun dun dun!).
Date: June 04, 2008 06:49 am Title: if you were an ocean, i'd learn to float
Love the part of her not taking his name. Didn't see that coming but a nice detail.
Author's Response: I'm just full of surprises (and, apparently, angst).
Date: June 04, 2008 05:54 am Title: if you were an ocean, i'd learn to float
Love this story. Really.
Author's Response: I'm happy to hear that. Thank you.
Date: June 04, 2008 04:31 am Title: if you were an ocean, i'd learn to float
It felt like a victory because he knows what it means! Good chapter. I was unsure of where you were going with Maddie's story in the last chapter, and now it is all becoming clearer. I'm a little slow, like Kevin. Great chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you. :)
Date: June 04, 2008 04:26 am Title: if you were an ocean, i'd learn to float
Sweet cheeks!!
And yay for Pam not taking Roy's name. It will make it easier when they split.
Author's Response: Maddie is a cheek pincher of the worst kind. ;)
