I love stories where Pam gets braver quicker, and for her to be brave before Jim, gotta love it!

There are so many things I love about this story! I loved that Pam had saved the card to read last and noticed it had gone and remembered Jim leaning over her counter. Dwight giving her the clue about where Jim keeps sentimental things in his desk drawer (I wondered what else Pam might find there). I loved that Pam broke up with Roy because she realized she didn't have the love she wanted and needed with him and that she took that brave step without knowing what would happen, before she knew for certain how Jim felt. I loved that she found Jim's card but decided not to take that from him and that she expressed her own feelings without knowing what his would be. And the cards! They're both perfect. I love that Pam's was so brave and open and that Jim's was affectionate and caring but couched in language that she could brush off as friendly if she wanted to continue to live in denial - that wasn't what I expected, but it rang so true. His wanting her to know that she was loved, but allowing her to choose whether it was romantic love or friendship. And I could read pages of things getting out of hand kissing on Pam's parents' porch...
Lovely story, all around. I had all kinds of feels when I read this last night.

I just read all four chapters this morning and they're all so good. I loved your Pam because despite her nervousness and the bad timing, she finds the courage to put herself out there for Jim. So great to read something where she's the one doing that instead of Jim. Both cards were just exactly right and I'd love to see Pam's rendition of the teapot just the way you wrote it!

Oh please finish this! It's the only story I consistently check back to see if it's been updated, because I really love it and I want to see what Jim wrote!! :P As far as I'm concerned, Christmas is never over- I could do with some holiday cheer right now. Anyway, you write beautifully and I look forward to the story's conclusion.

Aww the Christmas episode, great start. I always wondered if Pam saw the card and if she was curious (like the rest of us lol) to see what was in it. Looking forward to the next chapter. =)

Wow. This part "He felt a little nauseated; how could she take so much from him and not accept his affection. He hated these moments, the ones where he realized how much of his own energy he invests in her, when she so easily leaves him at the office to go home to her fiancé." is so heartbreaking and so true.
I really like how you've written the part of her realizing the card was gone, and figuring out what must have happened. If I'd been writing this, I think I would have found that to be one of those things which are hard to get across, but you did it beautifully.

Kev,
I hope you've been doing well, it's been a while! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond, but I really was having such a hard time writing that I was staying away a little. The MTT equivolent of taking a breath I guess. I'm so happy that you enjoyed this, and your compliments mean a lot to me. I value you opinion very much. So, again, thank you.

The awesome levels on this story are seriously through the roof. And thank you for not giving into huge declarations as soon as Roy is out of the questions. In case you didn't know, the awesome level just went even higher because of it.
Author's Response:
did I miss this review? apparently. So sorry! Thank you for reviewing me VM, and I'm glad this is awesome. Yeah, I was torn about it, I mean we all want them to declare their love, but in reality no way that just do it. So as much as I wanted to rush I had to take it slow and I'm really glad that rang true to you.
Thanks again.

Oooh, I'd love to hear the rest! I'm sure we're all dying to know what Jim really wrote on that card!

You do realize that I urged you to write this for purely selfish reasons? And you did not disappoint.
I like how you've so intricately chronicled the rollercoaster emotions Jim went through that day, from hope to deflation to anger and back (this was a great line: He surveyed the contents of his desk for a moment to see if there was a pencil sharp enough to just get it over with and put himself out of his misery. So sad and funny and so apt.) And Pam's realization of why she needed to reclaim the teapot. I agree - even back then, she knew only Jim really got her so completely. Okay, Pam's not the only one dying to know what that card said...
Author's Response: So you understand that I think that you are so talented that I kinda want to dance around my living room now? Seriously, I'm really happy that you liked this and truly I would not have written it most likely with you and the others from the forum. So thank you for your encouragement. And since I have your attention, when might we see more writing from colette?

Love the situation and they way you've written this. Can't wait for the next bit. How will detective Beesley proceed? Will she enlist Dwight?

Poor Jim....Can you imagine what Dwight would have said about that picture? I'm glad to hear you have plans to finish it soon. And Merry Christmas to you as well.

First of all, that was just amazing. Second, I was so excited about the premise of this story from just reading the summary, I figured that it couldn't possible be as awesome as I wanted it to be. And it was. I am very much looking forward to more...it's a nice break from studying.
Author's Response: It is that time of year huh nbyevu? good luck with all the studying! Thank you so much for your awesome review, I'm so incredibly happy to see how much people are enjoying this. I feel like you all are giving me such a nice present by liking it.
