I'm so glad you came back to this story. I remembered it. Yeah for burnt pop-tarts! Finally.
Author's Response:
I'm so sorry, so rude of me. I always respond to my reviews...urgh, so sorry. Thanks for remembering and thanks for reviewing. Oddly enough every since that chapter I've had pop tarts in my house. :-) I really appreciate you reading my fic.

I definitely didn't forget about this story! And I just spent my morning re-reading it so I remembered everything for the latest chapter. This is one of my favorites. You nail the awkwardness so well. I love how Pam slowly got more confidence to re-kindle their friendship and start their romance. While this is AU, I also really liked how it's not too far removed from the plot of the show. I don't know if you planned it that way, but I enjoyed it. Great job :-)
Author's Response: I'm glad, it's been so long and I know that so many stories are posted - I didn't know if people would still remember this one. But i'm very happy you liked it. Unfortunately I know a little something about awkwardness. :-) It wasn't really intentional that this dovetailed the show, but happily it did. Which is good because I used to write chapters as they inched closer and yet they were getting farther apart on the show and I would be depressed. But now, it's all good. Thanks for the review.

Yay! So glad you are back. And you brought Jam Smooches!! So adorable that they are both so nervous!
Author's Response: Thank you for the review and it's good to be back...should we be standing by a lake somewhere (just kidding). I'm glad you enjoyed this and thanks for the review. Yes, who can refuse JAM smooches!

DUDE! Seriously, just a few days ago (aka yesterday) i was thinking I needed to yell at you to write more. And then what do I see when I wake up this morning? An email telling me this was updated.
Okay, just thought you should know the first line, I started mad giggling and a huge smile. I think I look like a freak that at my computer. But whatever. It is a good reaction. And I am just glad I am alone in the house and no one except my dog gets to make fun of my weird reactions at a computer screen.
" clutching his shirt in her hand," such a cute image.
"But not this time; no one was backing away anymore." best line (in that paragraph... in that whole sentence... i make no promises because i haven't even scrolled past tat to find other best lines)
" there was no place he would rather be." that wins best line for the next part of the fic, because that entire image and those words just equal wonderfullness.
And he got to kiss her. :D
Ah you mention morning breath. That makes me happy. Because morning breath is EVIL. Which is why I will admit, I had to brush my teeth, floss, and use Listerene before I read this fic. Not because I didn't want to share morning breath with my computer, but just because my mouth felt gross.
I think "no skills with women" Jim is even more adorkable than whatever skills he may posesses Jim
My refridgerator doesn't give me good advice either. Which is why i switched to the microwave. A great listener, and always ready with a pearl of wisdom.
“Yeah, what is that about?” - reminds me of Back from Vacation where they are talking about Michael and Jan in Jamaica
“ Because it’s you.” - best line from next section
oh and that is both times it was said, just fyi.
Lots and lots of kisses. And with no morning breath. Just possible fires
After having similar issues, I have decided that i am going to make a brain to usb cable. Instantly write things how they appear in your brain without that trouble aspect of thinking and stuff. (also handy for screen caps and just imagining JK in all his glory). Will you be willing to buy one?
Author's Response:
I am so in for the brain to USB cable. When is the ship date on that?
Actually, that's exactly what I was thinking about (BFV) with that line, and the I think we're nervous was meant to make you think of Casino Night (I think we're just drunk). I'm obviously a big fan of the nervous Jim, and I'm glad if I didn't take it too far here. But what I can say, I love to draw out the angst. That and I just couldn't figure out how to write this chapter, I sat down and nothing, nothing came out.
I'm absolutely wanting to squee with happiness that the because it's you worked. I couldn't decide if it was good, or so cheesy you wanted to bring out nacho chips.
Thanks for the review, and I'm glad to be back. And right back at you!

Oh, such a lovely chapter! I loved the post-first-date awkwardness. It was absolutely endearing! And I'm really glad that Jim had a "Grown Up" moment and realized he needed to work things out without Jane's help.
Author's Response: You know, I love Jane and I think Jim does too, but yeah, at some point I wanted him to realize that this is Pam and he can do this himself. I don't know how well I conveyed it, but that's what I wanted. And as for the awkwardness, we've all been there right? Oooh, just me? whoops. I figured it would be weird for them, so I went with it and I'm so happy that you liked it. Thanks for the review.

I'm so glad that you updated this! And I really love the way you've written Pam, and Jim's reactions to her. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thanks! This is the first fic I've tried to write entirely from Jim's point of view and it's harder than I thought it would be. It's hard to just put subtle clues as to what she's feeling and make Jim think about it, instead of just saying it. But it's been a fun experience and I'm glad that it rings true to you. Thanks for reading.
