Michael? Observant?

I'd love this for a finale this year. And the scenarios you laid out were great!

What a good idea! Get us out of our wild specs for Season 3 and introduce possible specs for Season 4. My favourite was 3 - not angsty, and opens the door for so many possibilities

Cliffhangers are evil - but some of these make all right with the world again so you're forgiven. :)

Hmmm......I wonder which options I'm leaning toward? ;-)
I just hope it comes before the season finale, though!

Love how the scenarios get progressively 'better', at least on a Jamminess scale!

wonderful. I liked #5 the best

She figured the best option for finally getting her living room the nice sea foam green she wanted was to call in help
Pam owns a house? On the salary of a receptionist? Even in the financially depressed Rust Belt that would be quite a feat. If it isn't her house, she has no right to paint the walls. I can't imagine anyone who is just renting getting permission to paint the walls, let alone sea foam green.
If this seems a tad picky, it's because this is not the first fic I've read where someone has Pam painting her walls. Unless she's independently wealthy, I just don't see her having the money to own a house, and I don't see landlords allowing her to paint the walls of a rental unit.
I loved the dialogue where Pam invites Jim to come over and paint, though. Jim's remark about buying the clown suit just to scare her was completely in character.
Jim just grabbed his work clothes from his gym bag
I shudder to think what his suit looked like after spending the night in his gym bag. "Wrinkled" doesn't begin to describe it.
She looked down at her empty glass of wine and started to cry.
It's probably unfair of me to rag on this, but I've had it up to here with Weepy!Pam. Enough, already. I do think she's stronger than this.
Having said that, I loved them falling asleep in one another's arms on her couch. Great scene.
That was one of her favorite parts of the day -- being able to finally touch him after looking at him from her receptionist desk.
Word. :)
a drawer for him to put his folded-up suit in at night
ACK! NO! A suit needs to HANG. She can't give him a drawer AND a coat hanger? Just one?
Great last line!
Author's Response:
All valid points so let me explain.
RE: the painting. We have to pay to have our apartment repainted no matter what we do to them. I figured we give Pam the same situation. And I called it a living room but it's essentially the non-bedroom of the apartment.
RE: The Gym Bag Suit. He's a guy so he probably wouldn't care as much and it would make it easier for Michael to notice.
RE: The crying. I hate it too but couldn't figure out another way to get Pam into Jim's arms so I totally went cliche.
RE: The hanger. I need to add that in. I tried to explain how he took a shower and used the steam to get the wrinkles out but that took too many words. Adding a hanger may solve that problem.
Thanks for the feedback!
