Sorry but I am not a kiss up. you must really dislike Jim. He deserves to dump Pam the whore and then kick Ryan's ass all over Scranton. Maybe I'll write a sequel-Jim finds out, grows a pair and gets even!

You know, I really did like this, even though I'm one of those that normally goes for the Jim/Pam happy ending fluff (when there's no Dwight/Angela happy ending fluff to be found of course, heh). But it was so well written and vivid that I found myself sucked in. I couldn't figure out what time period it was until at least halfway and then I was just utterly shocked to think that Pam would cheat on Jim. Yet it never seemed unrealistic. And the old college buddies were fantastic. Nice work.

It was so refreshing to read something that was not "Jim and Pam live happily ever after and have a beautiful wedding and beautiful, shiney, perfect life and blah blah blah." And it was interesting and well-written and realistic--awesome job.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I always worry about posting fic here since I never seem to write Jim/Pam happy endings anymore and I realize that's what most people want to read, so I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)

Damn. And I mean that in the best way possible. Loved it - not to mention I have a weird thing for Pam/Ryan.
Author's Response: Thank yooou! Haha, I may have a weird thing for Pam/Ryan too... JUST MAYBE. I'm glad you liked it!

Wow I really really loved this. Fascinating from beginning to end. I especially loved that last line. Great job.

Wild! It's sad to think that Pam would still be unhappy and would ever again get engaged to someone who she later realized she might not want to marry! But you did a really good job telling the story.
I like Ryan's dismissal of Jim's choice of how to propose. Imagine if you had known that it was in the rain at a rest stop! Ryan would have had even more to mock. ;)
Nice job. I liked Pam's relationship with Ryan's friends also.
Author's Response: Thanks TLK! Haha, yeah I actually wrote this months and months ago and for some reason ended up not posting it - if it had been post-gas station proposal I think Ryan would have had a few other choice words... HEE. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
