I get where you're coming from. Pam doesn't really give off "city girl."
Amazing, as usual. :D
Author's Response: Aw, thanks. Yeah, Pam's not a city girl and she's never epitomized the stereotypical "art girl" either, so...there you go. :)

Oh that was so, so right. Especially knowing what we know now about Pam's experience in New York and how it might've been great...but not soooooo great. lol. I think you painted a very realistic picture here (no pun intended, I promise. lol)
Author's Response: Thanks a lot! And hey, I appreciate puns. :) I think Pam would've loved the fact that she finally got to experience everything, but was also still feeling a little out of place. Really glad you enjoyed it! :)

God I loved it :) just the thought of him on her bed reding, just wanting to be close ;)
Author's Response: Thank you! :)

Very nice!! What a wonderful look into their time in NY. I loved all the details you included in this about all the people Pam was meeting and all the things she was experiencing, and how all of it attributed to Jim's lowered self-esteem. The story line really flowed well because of those small mentions of clubs she'd heard of and stuff, and then way to bring it back at the end and show that she's still the small-town girl she's always been. Loved your take on Alex as well. Non-threatening, amicable, and just the slightest hint of awkward. I
Author's Response: Thanks, buddy! Yeah, I can see them both feeling a little out of sorts during that whole experience, and even though I think Pam enjoyed herself, it wasn't what she wanted for good. And I'm glad you liked "my" Alex...he gets a bad rap, but he was her buddy, not a threat. Thank you as always!

Yes. They are totally that couple that prefers quiet nights in as opposed to crazy New York bars. Jim's insecurity, Pam trying to fit in, and eventually finding reassurance in each other? Classic. Well done, as usual :)
Author's Response: Thanks, friend! I'm happy you liked it, and what you said was pretty much exactly what I was trying to get across so...thank you! :)

LC, you, like Jim, sell yourself short. Each chap of this story gives us a little something different, another little glimpse. I see Pam and Jim trying to branch out a bit but feeling most comfortable just being together. I like that, despite his discomfort, Jim wants Pam to be happy and wants to experience different things with her. I like that your Alex wasn't too pushy, your Jim, not too insecure and your Pam, not too secure. Great job, as always.
Author's Response: Why thanks, pal. I appreciate that and I'm really glad this one worked for you. I tried to keep everyone in balance with who (I think) they are, and what they are is...average, you know? Not too fancy, not too ambitious, not too anything, really. Thank you, as always! :)

This may be my favorite chapter yet and the title is perfect. No serious ambition, and they're happy about it. *laughs*
Author's Response: Thank you...I think that's just an inherent characteristic of Pim: that they have ambitions, but not lofty ones, and are okay being...average. Especially Jim. :) Glad you liked it!
