once again, i LOVE these sweet little moments. i was all excited for a second cause i was think it'd be their wedding but then i was like, oh no what if he's late! and then of course, he was on time and waiting for her. i know i keep showering this with compliments, but i do love these little moments and i love that they correspond with songs. & i love reading anything you write.
Author's Response: Are you apologizing for doing this? I really think that's unnecessary! I can't tell you how wonderful it is and I appreciate it so much.

A departure yes, but a nice one. I love the meandering nature of this story, every chapter is so different and yet it still feels like one large narrative at the centre. Your description of Jim's thoughts about his job just screams s4-Jim to me. Spot on.
Author's Response: It's funny how Jim's soul-searching turned out, isn't it? I think if Pam weren't pursuing her own dreams, he might be more content, but FNB has him thinking. I'm glad you think there was a center to this, because I didn't consciously do that, but I think the essence of their relationship ties it all together. Thank you so much, shootingstars.

Writing these little vignettes is addictive, isn't it? This totally took me to the happy place - their silent conversation as she comes down the aisle rings so true.
...translate the entire day for each other in their own language that nobody else understands.
What a perfect way to describe that secret current between them. Just lovely.
Author's Response: It devinitely is addictive, Colette. I might try my hand at something longer at some point, but for now, I'm enjoying these so much. I got excited over that line, too, so I'm glad you liked it.

This is sooo gorgeous. It's seems to be exactly what Jim and Pam would be thinking. It's beautiful and makes me feel like dying because the season premiere is still too far away!!!
Author's Response: Three days!! You can do it, Snoznoodle! Thank you so much for the lovely review.

Yay! So glad to see an update from you tonight. This is such a sweet series. I know I've said it before but I love just little looks into their lives together. So well done!
Author's Response: How sweet, kells, thank you so much. I think it's going to get more challenging because I don't want to get repetitive or sappy. I'll be scrolling through the playlist looking for the next bit of inspiration.

Well, you've inspired me to create a mix on my iPod with the music from this story because it's all so good :)
Great Jim perspective about why he stays where he is even if it isn't professionally fulfilling. Love their silent communication as she comes down the aisle. Wish there was a blip in his head of what it might be like if she was coming down the aisle to see him at the end, but I like what you came up with :)
Author's Response: Wow! That might be the coolest thing ever, Jenn! I thought about the blip in his head about their own wedding, but I just couldn't work it in without it sounding completely cheesy. Writing the big moments are really hard for me. I've tried a little bit of it and it just falls completely flat. Flatter than Jan's old shrunken chesticles. Thank you for the great review!

I love this. Happy Jim and Pam are always wonderful, but it's so great to just see the two of them depending on each other and resting in the peace that love like that offers. They both know that all the little stresses aren't that big a deal when they're together. and you convey that so well!
Author's Response: I'm so happy to read this, rulesofjinx, because that's exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you so much for the sweet review.

I just became a member, but I have to say that I have enjoyed reading this fic from the beginning. It has been beautiful and moving. Please keep the chapters coming I love it.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, PokerChips! It's been a challenge to exercise my old atrophied writing muscles, but reading reviews like this one keeps me going. And welcome! This is a place of welcoming!

Wow. And you know Jim can say that much with just a look. As can Pam.
I'm so looking forward to Pam & Jim at a happy wedding. Well, not that Phyllis' wasn't happy for her, but well, you know...
Author's Response: I wonder which couple is going to be the first to take the plunge? I hoped I wasn't going too far with the JAM telepathy, but they are so on the same wavelength, I think they could have a whole conversation without saying a thing. Thanks for the review, lisahoo!

Absolutely adore this story and each chapter seems to get better than the last. Not sure how you do it! I just loved the juxtaposition between how unsure and uncomfortable he feels about his job and the direction of his career...but then here comes Pam - and that part of his life is completely comforting and he's totally sure of that path. BRILLIANT.
Also, Pam in burgundy....brilliant as well!
Author's Response: Pam in burgundy...I thought you'd like that! I can't tell you how wonderful it is to read your reviews, LoveFool. I thought about making this the last one because I don't want to get redundant or lame with this idea, but then I read a review like this and it makes me want to keep going with it. Thank you so much.

I loved the line, 'he hears the soundtrack of her laughter'. Very romantic, very loving, very Jim. Another wonderful chapter in this love story Sweetpea.
Author's Response: Aw, jinx, thanks so much. I love that line, too. It's such a thrill when they pop out of your head like that without struggling - the one or two times that's actually happened. Thank you for reading and reviewing.
