I don't think he can ever REALLY TRULY move on.

You know what I like about this one? Is that he said something about anyone else in one sentence. But for the receptionist it’s a whole paragraph and a half. He is so far gone.

This is absolutely beautifully written. I agree they didn’t talk much at all their first time. Loved this chapter.

*He watches her sleep, dark hair everywhere, and tries to picture their relationship; going on movie dates, spending all Sunday morning in bed, meeting family, moving in together, getting a dog, giving her a ring.
It doesn't come to him as easily as it always did when he glanced up to reception, but maybe someday it will.*
YES, poor Jim trying so hard to make something happen here. Ugh my heart hurts for him.

Damn. That hurt. And replying to Karen instead? Ouch.

He kept the blue chip!
“Maybe because the first time she said "I can't" it sounded like a question.”
Yes. This is the first time I’ve seen this pointed out in fic but YES.

EEP. This is perfect!

Their silent communication in this chapter... wow. I can't put it any better than that.
Date: December 13, 2020 04:34 pm Title: Fifth Night
Ugh. Karen deserved better. But you can actually kinda see from this how he talks her into staying with him - in no small part because she can tell that he's sincerely trying.

This is a very solid version of how Jim might have talked himself into Karen - not so much Karen as the opposite of Pam, but his relationship with Karen as a mirror image of his relationship with Pam.

I'm a committed member of Team "He Sent Her A Brief Not-Inviting-Follow-Up Text," but his thought process here works, and works well with how he's going to end up approaching her upon his return.

Angela as the one who breaks the news is a VERY interesting choice - what made you go with her?
Author's Response: I think I was going for "Who is the last person you'd expect to tell Jim, but would still be plausible." And I could picture Angela, who was pretty aware of the Jim/Pam situation, knowing Pam hadn't contacted Jim and thinking Jim should find out from someone besides Michael or Kelly. As far as what my head-canon of who told Jim is, my money is on Kevin, maaaaaybe Phyllis.

The "if only he could put everything in the box" paragraph is beautiful.

"He's actually rather skilled at it by now, always seeing her even when he's not looking at her" is a really good line. And I thought the poker metaphor worked well here.
Author's Response: Thank you! That's definitely one of my favorite lines in this fic.
Date: December 13, 2020 04:21 pm Title: Diversity Day
This is a beautiful version of what was running through Jim's head here.
Date: December 13, 2020 04:21 pm Title: In the beginning
I like that you've worked in Jim's less-strong (if still pretty on-point) impressions of everyone else into this - and how he's already well aware of the fact that he's not going to be able to move on from how he's feeling. Buckle up, Jim.

I love this, in season 4 when we find out when they each first liked each other, I always wondered how long it’s was between Jim’s first day and pams yogurt. This feels really right.
Author's Response: Yes I had to imagine it was early on, before Jim was very comfortable approaching Pam’s desk. Thanks for reviewing!
