This was cute! I was just waiting for the untitled silent presence to make himself useful!

Mmmm, protective Jim. Nice. And how very, very Pam to still deny, still hold back, still hesitate. You capture a very true-feeling moment here.
Author's Response: Thank you. Gotta love Protective Jim, except I always feel like I'm writing them in the 50's when I go that route. You know, black leather jackets and poodle skirts at the sock-hop. Oh well. Thanks for the review.

Very nice but one complaint - I want it to be a real date! Other than that, it's lovely. And a piece of good advice for dealing with unwanted attention "he tells her to tell the next Loser that she's either a nun or has the bird flu because, without fail, all guys are afraid either of God or avian viruses". (And I think your spell check missed this: "it is in know way")
Author's Response: Thanks for catching the typo. As for it not being a real date, denial is very powerful and persuasive. Thanks for the review.

It may not be a date, but whatever it is, it's lovely. I like the way Jim doesn't say anything, just 'claims' Pam via body language. And how he's still tentative enough to be unsure he should act possessive...very Jim-like. Ending with them subtly walking closer together, smiling, joking around was perfect. Just enough of a shift in mood. Very, very sweet.
Author's Response:
Thank you very much. I feel like, once they finally get out of their own way, he won't put up with anyone getting between them because enough is enough! Plus, possessive Jim is yummy. He should always be "claiming."
Thanks for the specifics and the review.

Sure it isn't a date. Uh-huh. :D
Author's Response: Denial is a very powerful (and necessary) tool.

I really enjoyed this chapter! My favourite parts:
the silence an aisle away listens I just like this image, it reminds me of the time Pam's mom asked who Jim was, and even though he looked "busy" he was listening to intently I thought he might pull a muscle.
And: She laughs her Jim laugh, and he smiles his Pam smile
Because, yeah, they totally have those things, that they only use with each other.
Awesome.
Author's Response: Man, you are observant. I didn't even think of the Pam's mom scene...at least not conciously. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the review.

Awww, hanging out at a bookstore before going to the movies! That is a perfect evening. Oh, and I love protective Jim. It is not a date but the best evenings are spent with friends so it is all good. ;)
Author's Response: It would pretty much be my perfect evening, so yeah. Protective Jim is hot. I'm all for women taking care of themselves, but sometimes...it's nice for the guy to step in.
