"But she could still feel his hand on hers."
So, so beautiful. I love your style of writing so much, the poeticness of it (not a real word...sorry).

Hmmm... it's a hard decision, but I'm going to have to say that 4 and 5 were my favorites of all five -- in fact, I'll even go so far as to say 5 was my top favorite of them all. :P I think you showed some real insight here, especially in this line: "Pam had always felt more important to him and that somehow made it all bearable." That makes so much sense and it really explains how Pam would have been able to more easily deal with his dating other people (well, not to mention her excusing everything with her engagement to Roy, but that's a given). This is just lovely. Thanks so much for sharing it with us!

I missed this one the first time! Sweet/sad, just like I like!

That was so sweet! I don't know how I missed it when you initially posted it, but it is really lovely! :)

Ouch. Oh, I have so been here. Haven't we all? And doesn't it suck to be Pam?

Wonderful. I love all these little moments! This was especially great:
And with the taste of his surprised kiss still on her lips, the last thing she needed was another complication.
Also, I knew I was really connecting with this piece when this: She’d even sometimes smelled perfume on him in the mornings actually made me feel a bit sick.
Thanks!

Though she knew it would drive her crazy, she wondered where he would take her. Would he open her car door? Would he order wine at dinner? Would he hold her hand? Would he make her laugh? Would he kiss her goodnight? Would he kiss her good morning?
Her stomach knotted painfully and she knew that he would.
*insert loud "Aww!" here* This was so cute! I miss JAM!!!

The most heartbreaking is #3...this line particularly got to me:
"For that small, brief moment, when Jim’s eyes burned intensely into hers and he confessed his past crush, it had mattered more than it should have."

"She wanted to be more important, for just a little while longer. "
Oh, that's our Pam. How come she never wants 'more than that'? These were lovely and sad.

How sad. I think you really captured the way (I hope) Pam would now yearn for him. The ending - her imagining him with someone else - was especially fine.

Lovely. Great Pam voice, and the moments were perfectly chosen.

Aw, these were sweet. I just wish she'd have opened her eyes to her own feelings in all of those instances! And I love the simplicity of the "mixed berries" one - you say so much in two such short paragraphs.

This just makes me mad at Pam for being so stupid. I love that, because you've captured it perfectly. Thank you!

I really enjoyed this - especially this line - "She wanted to be more important, for just a little while longer."
