Nice. And of course, the last line got an "awww". So sweet.
Author's Response: Thanks! I only hope her Romeo shows up soon.

I love this. Pam the nurturer, who needs nurturing herself. This was so much more original than her getting a cat.
Author's Response: LOL! Never thought of a cat but yeah, I don't know if she's ready for that yet. Thanks!

What a lovely story! I especially liked that Pam has found a place of her own. Nice job :)
Author's Response: Thank you, Blanche! (Say hi to Stella and Stanley for me).

Finally had a chance to read this...and glad I did. They're all such good character studies. So many pithy, character galvanizing lines, but I especially liked the Dwight section - made me really wish they'd spend more time on his family on-camera. Somehow this sentence just cracked me up:
Dwight heard a scurrying sound in a corner and wondered if Angela would let him have one of her kittens to train into a warrior cat.
Oddly perfect. And this last Pam chapter...her Tell me what you need was so poignant and really hit the nail on the head (note allusion to me wanting to hit those two would-be lovebirds on the head at this point.) But the metaphor of tending the flowers and her helplessness then epiphany was just lovely. And your last line rendered a swift blow to my romantic bone...yet I smiled.
Author's Response: Sorry about the blow to the bone, Colette. :) I'm glad you've enjoyed these character studies. I wasn't sure how they'd be received. I agree that RED may be the best of the lot--so far. Something about Dwight...as Angela has discovered. I think it's interesting to show sides of these characters we will never see on the show, and that their co-workers may never see, either. :) Thanks for your review!
