I love how you broke the scenes out into types. I was thinking of TO scenes that fit each category as I read. Fantastic as usual!

Your repeated elements are perfect here. I'm in Love with your prose - you give us just enough to discern the context. Ah, beautiful.

Really sweet. And poetic. I loved this.

I so loved these. I loved that each chapter had a "Things are....." that tied them all together, especially the "Things are finally put back together". Your stories never disappoint and I thank you for them all.

As the saying goes, 'less is more.' Each of these feels like a perfect crystallized moment in a believable progression. And there's just something about Jim's shirt sleeves in particular that makes this very specific (they're kind of an iconic image of the show, in fact!) This: her fingers absently rub circles just below his wrist; then: her hands slipping up his coat sleeves for warmth - both so intimate - even sensual - in the most understated way. And lastly, I like that you ended in the parking lot - full circle (and about time something good happened there.)

Though I'm looking forward to see what you view as more "substantial" I am so thankful you've shared this much with us. The last image you left us with is my favorite. I'm smiling just imagining it in my head.
Lovely job as always.

Beautiful lines: It’s three years of habit when he slides the second half of his sandwich over to her and takes her carrot sticks
and
he says something that makes light spill all over her face
Thank you for both of them.

I love the "__________ Scene" title thing. And I love the sleeve theme. And I love roman numerals. And how "Third Parties" are mentioned but not named. And I love JIm. And you. <3
This is fantastic; the last one is particularly beautiful. That image of her hands snaking up his sleeves makes me all sorts of happy. Thank you!

I think that in that last scene, her sneaking her hands up his coat sleeves is something that's so wonderfully intimate and just so sexy. Wow.
Thanks so much for this!
cheers.

You said so much with so few words. Very evocative. Your writing is always great, but this is even more gorgeous than usual.

Beautiful- almost impressionistic. I'm waiting for this moment: She smiles, fully, and it looks like it’s been too long. I think a lot of us will smile once these two finally work things out. Gorgeously done.

I love it. Third partied need to be demolished indeed.
But yeah -- lovely that I can see the scenes perfectly and a name is never spoken! ;)

God, that was beautiful. So tiny and perfect and it amazes me that you slipped meaning into every sentence.
It was around here that I almost started to cry: "His shirt is white, not blue, sleeves rolled up and her fingers absently rub circles just below his wrist. "
White, and not blue. That did it. So wonderful. And how perfect that it all ended in the Parking Lot of Doom.

I love how you wrote this -- it's like a poem in five parts, shorthand that only Office-ionados know! And 'third parties' -- that is priceless!!! Exactly how I think of her!!

This is... I actually don't have words. Each section is so simple, yet complete. The writing is beautiful and I loved every single line, epecially carrot sticks and hands inside coat sleeves, because it's those tiny little gestures that make them. Brilliant.
