Very sweet and nice story. I always pictured them saying something to each other right after Jim asked Pam out somewhere in the office. So this was nice.

I love the ending of this. It = poetry. :D
Author's Response: Well, thank you, JamFan4! I seem to always have trouble ending a story, so thanks for the positive encouragement!

I liked this story alot. I stuggle with whether or not I see Jim and Pam being happy as they are or seeing them grow into the artist and successful buisnesman I hope they can be. Secretly I pray for NYC spin off PB&J. But i really liked the honsety and true character nature of your story. Was this really your first attempt? Good stuff!
Author's Response: Thanks for reading, Jewelsy. I know what you mean. Sometimes, I would like to see them as the spinoff, but I'm afraid if they were thrown into a completely foreign environment, that some of the JAM sweetness that we're accustomed to would fade away. I don't know, I guess we'll have to see what's going to happen. This was actually my second story posted on MTT, but I'm still wading through the baby pool when it comes to writing fic. I have all of these ideas for stories, then when I sit down to write, they all seem to mesh together into this weird ball of nonsense. It takes me about 50 re-reads before I actually am brave enough to post. Hopefully, this'll get easier. I tend to be the same way with review responses :-)Thanks for reading and reviewing!

"Pam was hoping this “date” thing wasn’t going to be Jim letting her down easy, telling her that he was moving to New York with Karen and that they probably would never see each other again. Sort of a “have a nice life” speech."
Ya know, I don't think I ever thought of it that way. I can totally see her thinking that - at least once the excitment calmed down, but to me it never entered my mind. Mostly because I kept screaming "ITS A DATE", and in my head, I didn't have to think about real life worry or anxiety over it.
I like the mini speeches they give each other, but I will admit I can't totally see it happening in character. I'm uilty of it also, but these two are people that don't often speak their mind like that. It is a tricky line to find, because, before Beach Games I wouldn't believe it was possible at all. So, its just one of those things.
" It‘s always been you, Pam.”"
Makes my heart soar like the eagle's nest. :D
Author's Response: Oh, I hear ya, EmilyHalpert. I struggled with this concept, knowing the reality was being stretched a little thin. I just think it would be great if got to see Pam and Jim really talk to each other in this way. In my head, they do all the time :-) I guess it's a little more "Dawson's Creek"-y than "Office," but that's why we have fic, right? lol. Anyhoo, thanks for reading and reviewing!

Absolutely loved this little gem.
When he heard her approach, he looked up with a shy smile that she hadn't seen on Jim Halpert's face probably since the day they met. I can just picture that. So sweet. Excellent work!
Author's Response: I know, NanReg, This image of Jim has been in my head for the longest time. It's not totally far-fetched, since JKras is so easy on the eyes. I was picturing some of John's "modeling"-type photo shoots that he did for "Leatherheads" as the image of Jim in this story. IMHO, that guy can rock a nice suit better than anyone. Anyway, back to reality -- Thanks for reading and I appreciate the review!

Beautiful.
Sweet way to wrap up their past before moving forward.
Author's Response: Aw, thanks, Jinx. I appreciated that we could see them happy in the S4 premiere, but I felt very cheated about how they got there. This is just my interpretation. Thanks again for reading and reviewing.

Hey nothing is wrong with a little trip down memory lane! A very cute story and I mean cute in a good way like cute as in "they make a cute couple" not in "oh sweetie this drawing is cute" get what I mean? Well anyway I like it!
Author's Response: Thanks, dentalhydraplostion! I love your name, lol. The angst what's going to happen in the fall is killing me, so I thought I'd take us back to a somewhat happier time. thanks for reading and reviewing!
