I have a working computer again! And I have been reading fic for the past like 4 hours, just trying to play catch up (doing it in order of the emails I got, to be the most fair)... it was INSANE. I nearly died. I mean, seriously... a month without computers is bad enough. But add in finale time, I mean, seriously, without the short bits of internet I could get stealing my moms computer I probably would be dead.
Anyways, I am back, and I don't plan on leaving this computer until Wednesday when I have to start work... eating? nope. Sleeping? hell no. cleaning... well, that has to be done, or else I have a feeling a giant trash bag will take over my room. but minimal. enough so i can still have a floor.
Okay, first line... already ave to stop for a moment just to fantasize about Jim in those clothes... okay, done. Sorry, Jim in casual clothes is one of my (many) weaknesses.
This chapter was just so sweet. I mean, I am looking forward to the more than friends stuff, because I mean, seriously who isn't, but I love the rebuilding friendship. God, I got such a hue happy smile on my face.

He felt himself relax leaving behind the suits, the paper, the tuna, the bottled water, the whole new Jim Halpert image. So I'm finally catching up... I don't think I reviewed this chapter before (once you put it up). I think this line is new - it's awesome!
For a moment he thought that if he had a daughter, he hoped that she would have Pam’s mannerisms, her innocent face, her eyes. The whole paragraph this is in is so wonderful, and I think, so realistic. I remember times (although w/o the angst of unrequitedness) thinking similar things about my now-husband.
I think this ending is different than when I beta'd. I love it. "The crying chick", "He want to say 'Ask Karen'", letting Pam back into his heart... So, so good.
Author's Response: Kevin, thanks as always, you're the best.

This story is amazing. And if you don't post the next chapter soon, I might very well DIE. So please hurry!! :)
Author's Response:
Are you still alive? I'm so sorry I have had such issues lately! Hard to explain. But I'm trying to be better. Hello? do you need life support?

Awww...seriously hope that Jane's advice is "get your head out of your ass and just love her you moron!!!"
Wishful thinking? Can't wait to see where you take this next--Great job!!
Author's Response: Ok I almost stole this line for chapter 8. That is totally what he needs to do! Thanks for the review - I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Awwwwwwww--Supportive!Jim. I love that guy.
This was freakin' awesome:
Then of course his mind slipped into thinking about how he could get children that looked like Pam.
What a perfectly Jim thing for him to think - LOL!
Very, very sweet chapter. I love Jim in this. Of course, I love Jim in anything. Shirt and tie, no shirt or tie, tie but no pants, swimming in a pool of tapioca pudding...you name it.
Author's Response: Yeah normally I love Jim too, although his is pushing me right now. I mean c'mon. But it was fun to write something where Jim cares about Pam again. And ok course he more than cares, so he might entertain a dirty thought here and there ;-) Thanks for the review!

I continue to love the whole arc of this story...it's really going to be satisfying when they have their breakthrough. Loved the "Feeling her crying slack off..." paragraph.
Author's Response: Shucks, thank you so much. And thanks for your help on this chapter.

Very cute story, I wish Jim would try to do the friend thing again on the show.
PS - Ellipses are always three dots.
Author's Response: Yeah I would be happy if they would be friends. Course I want more, but I could live with friendship over being so cold. thanks for the PS, I just plain forgot that. Thanks for the review.

Oh my. That entire scene at Starbucks - and especially when he moves to her side of the booth and tells her to scoot over? My stomach literally did a flip.
His feelings for her were just so palpable here...and the dialogue was spot-on. When he says:
“Course you know now you can’t come in here now either - you’re the crying chick. You know this right?”
That was pure Jim-ness. And when he tells her he's proud of her for being brave, I wanted to cheer. I also love that she can still do this to him:
He didn’t really expect her to lay him bare like that, in one fell swoop
I really like that this isn't just about him rescuing her, but that it's a two-way street. Just really well done. Looking forward to the part where they're NOT friends forever; because they never were to begin with ;-)
Author's Response: Literally, I am honored that you liked it!!! Your writing is so great, I'm a huge fan. So I saw that you had left me a review and all i thought was "Colette? really? she liked it? she really liked it?" Ok, I'm done being a dork! Thank you for your kind review. Whenever I write or read little phrases like the scoot over, I really hear jim saying it in a deep voice, boy do I have issues. But I agree they weren't really ever just friends and I like that Jim in this story is beginning to realize it. And of course they won't just be friends now.......would I do that to you?
