Thank you so much for adding that epilogue because chapter 4 just KILLEDDDD me, so heartbreaking!! I was mentally screaming throughout this, so much they needed to say but in true Jam fashion, they once again skirted around their feelings. UGH! The ending completely made up for it, so sweet and relatable for every couple. I'm happy they had the comfort with each other in the end to run through their past and air it out. Great story, thank you!

Oh all the confusing feelings and circling thoughts in the lead up to Casino Night. They're so close here. They just don't have the courage to take that crucial step. And when Jim finally does it's more out of desperation than bravery. Still it gives an accurate reflection of where they are at the time. Also gives a really good insight as to why they could go from kinda mad at each other after Jim admitted he complained about Pam to back the the prank-y flirty selves they are on Casino Night.

Onto the epilogue.

Ugh this was the absolute worst, how could you do this to us?? I was literally shouting at my phone. Having said that, you wrote this brilliantly and even though it hurt my heart and all the signs to make it a fix it fic were literally shouting there, I still loved it. All I have to say is the ending better make up for this.

Well I do admire Pam for being the one to make the first move in terms of communication. Likewise they had an adult and mature conversation. Though there are still a few things bouncing around that a lot of fear is still holding back. Her doubts about Roy, her fear of starting starting something with Jim. Makes me wonder if this story is going to stay canon correct or if it's going to go AU. Time will tell, but for now this was some good dialogue between them.

Nice Angela voice here. Yes she can care in her own way and for her own reasons. She doesn't like public disruption so having all this swirling over the partition is probably making her go batty. She's also good for the direct approach. Part of me wonders how Jim's going to react to this news. Will things transpire as they did in canon or will a new bit of knowledge make things happen otherwise. It's a very interesting kind of thing and you wrote it well. Nice work.

Well boy am I glad you found this. I LOVED this little interaction between the two of them. You really nailed the dialogue.
‘Fair enough, she’d have prayed for her to fail miserably at being able to sexually satisfy the beet farmer in question, and lose all her teeth. Dwight liked a good set of teeth.’ - this had me in absolute hysterics.
I’m adding this to my own personal head canon of why Jim always eats baby carrots. It’s all down to Angela.
Awesome job. Can’t wait for more!
