It's hard for me to hear Jim tell someone else that he loves them other than Pam. But in this context it seems to fit. I can see in THIS story why he loves Emily. I like how you handled Emily's confrontation of the ring w/ Jim. She was honest yet she apprehensive and unsure about his response. It is reasonable and understandable for her to have some insecurities about finding the ring. And Jim in the shower-- always a good time.
Author's Response: Ah... Jim in the shower is nice, isn't it? *sigh* Thanks so much for continuing to read, Alamos, and for your insightful comments. Always, always welcome!

Yes, his confession was definitely not anything I would have envisioned a guy saying. But still very Jim. You had me going about Emily, though. Thought she was gonna pull a Pam for a minute there. Loved her response. “I love you, too … I’m a little freaked out by how much, actually.” So sweetly reassuring for Jim after the brief but terrifying silence.
This story is hugely enjoyable! I feel bad for the readers who can't get past the lack of Jam to read it. It's a great love story.
Author's Response: Nah, Emily wouldn't pull a Pam -- she's totally into him. She was just a little shocked (in a good way). So glad you're enjoying it and feel free to spread the word to the Jam fans that it won't kill them to read this ;-) Love stories are always good, aren't they? Thanks again for reading and for your comments, VB!

the moment i see a new chapter, everything else STOPS!!! yay! I totally love this, please keep writing! it's fantastic!
Author's Response: Oooh! I'm a time stopper??? Awesome. Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to review, trubeetlover!

If you ended this story with this chapter, that would be okay. I'm so happy for them both! The only thing that kind of stung was when she called him Halpert. But I quickly got over it with the banter between the two. Love this.
Author's Response: yeah, it would be a good place to stop, wouldn't it? But I just have a bit more I want to cover. We're nearing the end now, though... Also, I didn't think her calling him Halpert would be a big deal because Pam rarely did that. If Jim called Emily by her last name or something, that might sting... hence, why I haven't done that. Anyway, thanks so much for reading and reviewing, and a belated happy birthday to you!

Oh my gosh. This was the chapter I was waiting for. I can't even express how much I loved it. It was...wow...yeah. Could they be any cuter?! I hope for many, many more chapters...this story is too good to end. Oh, man, I love it.

Oh, I really like this chapter! Go Emily for asking about the ring when she wanted to. Jim's "I love you" was a little awkward, but I think he'd be that awkward about it, so good job :) Now, I'm really ready for Jim to meet Em's friends!
Author's Response: Yeah, Jim was probably more smooth with his ILY with Pam, but maybe that's why he's more awkward here. Fear has taken over a bit... Gald you are enjoying this and hope you keep reading! Thanks for your review, as always!

ooh I love how the 'love you' came out! it feels so real and less related to the sex they've been having and more about their real feelings for each other. Gah.
And cheese sticks are amazing. As are teachers (like myself) haha. So you just win all around gold medals :D Hope you have a good vacation and have loads to share with us after!
Author's Response: Oh, good. I was worried about the ILYs... didn't want them to be in the head of passion, but also wanted them to be a little awkward and hesitant. And, here's to cheese sticks and teachers! Hurray! (Thanks for reading!)

Oh, I love this! I hate the Jim still has that gun-shy part of him that Pam ingrained after so many years of not reacting the way he always wanted her to. It's pretty cool that Jim's going to meet some of her friends, especially after her "box" freak out. Ready for the next chapter now ;)
Author's Response: Your wish is my command, Jenn. Just posted the next one two minutes ago. Yes, I'm anxious for Jim to meet her friends, too... ;-) Thanks for the review!

Hmmm...that's what Pam said to him when what she meant was I love you...just like he's doing now. I love Jim with Emily, but maybe he'll learn to be a bit more understanding of Pam.

Oh, man, I think something bad is going to happen...
"I look in her eyes for a moment and see something intense and smoldering and different than before. Looking at her actually makes me pause, forget what I’m doing for a moment."
But then it'll get better. Right, right...right?!

P.S. So glad you updated soon. I've been waiting all week!!!

Ooooo-WEE! Such a wonderfully intense and sexy chapter, Wendolf. As a couple, they're just so real, ya know? BTW, your Embarrassed!Jim is especially adorable and hot.

I can't remember the last time I reviewed this story, but that doesn't mean I haven't kept up with it. I do love it and have just added it to my favorites. Like another reviewer has said, this story ranks right up there with Stablergirl's I just wanted to be famous. You're doing a wonderful job. I look forward to each update.

This is wonderful. You've got a fantastic ear for dialogue. Nicely done.

Hmmm...it sounds like something is off. Too bad they have to be apart now. It was a short chapter, but it seems like a good bridge between what happened before and what happens next. Good job!

Okay, Wendolf, I finally registered here, after lurking for over a year, just because of this story and the burning aching question that has been haunting me for weeks. Please forgive me if someone has asked already but please ... are YOU Emily???
Because THAT is, like, the "Who shot JR?" question of the year!
Author's Response: OMG, Jam Pong, I wish. Seriously. ;-) There are some similarities for sure (I'm tall, blondish, like volleyball), but no -- Emily is not me. I'm only living vicariously through her for awhile in these chapters. So glad you registered -- hope we'll see more of you around! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing.

You take all the time you want getting your story to where it is going! The longer it takes, the more chapters I get to read!
In a bit of a rush tonight so no quotes this time. As always, I love it. You have a gift. Definitely have a gift.

I LOVE, Absolutely LOVE Pam's sister! LOVE! She's great...totally great. Anyways...I'm interested to see what happens with the ring. You are going to explain that a bit, right? I hope so!! Update soon...please.

OMIGOSH! I was right about the box! It was the first thing that popped into my mind, but I didn't actually connect the dots onto why Emily was acting weird in the morning. I so hope she can be honest with him when he gets home because even though it's an awkward conversation, I know Jim will be happier with the truth than trying to parse after all these years.

You can't stop writing this? DON'T STOP WRITING THIS STORY!! I am truely enjoying this whole AU version! This story is free chocolate candy at work good! no, way better than that...

Oh geez, you leave us hanging like that? She figured out what the box is, Jim thinks he didn't call her Pam and had a "but" in there ... anxiously awaiting the next chapter!
Author's Response: Glad I've got you hanging on! Should have another chapter soon. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, pizzagirl!

This is such a fun, fast and witty chapter. The dialoogue between Emily and her sister is such a natural banter between two sisters. I am glad that Emily is getting some stregnths from her sister. Also Jim Halpert is on my list. :)
In your response to your Chapter End Notes -- I like the pace of this story, the relationship between Jim and Emily is progressing naturally and organically. Take your time I am enjoying the ride. (TWSS).
Author's Response: Thanks Alamos! Yeah, Jim (or John) is totally on my list. Number one slot at the moment! ;-) Glad you enjoyed the banter -- it was so much fun to write. I'm also glad you don't mind the rambling story. I do feel like each chapter has a purpose, but I hadn't intended it to go on quite this long. But it feels right and so ... it is what it is. Thanks again for reading and your comments!

Oh, baby! I can't wait to see where this goes! After a chapter like that, I might be a little impatient for you to add another one...
Man, I sure love this story...

Author's Response: Thanks #1! I should have another before the day is through. I'm a little nervous about posting it because of the steam factor but . . . well . . . that's never stopped me before! ;-)
