this was really cute.
I usually don't read first-person fics, but I liked this one (:
Author's Response: Glad you gave it a chance, since first-person is pretty much all I do. Thanks for reading! :)

hmmm I like this whole Pam showing up at Jim's thing. But on the contrary, I don't know if I like the fact that Pam has to be like absolutely sure that Jim is in love with her before she has the balls to break it off with Roy. The fact is she is clearly in love with Jim, and that enough should be enough to realize that she can't be with Roy. But then again Pam (at least the old Pam) is kind of cowardly and insecure like that so maybe it's realistic. Plus I guess it's obviously harder to leave a fiance that you've been with for 10 years. I didn't find it sappy at all though. You're Jim and Pam are very much in character :)
Author's Response: Well, I've always wondered if Pam would ever let herself know that she was really in love with Jim. It's possible to convince yourself it's just friendship, especially if you've been in a relationship for 10 years. But I'm glad you didn't find it sappy, and even if it didn't all ring true, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your honesty, I really appreciate it, and thanks for reading. :)

love love love. I wish you were continuing, but at the same time, I like where you're ending it. The first two chapters had me incredibly frustrated but this third one gave me shivers. It was perfect.
Author's Response: Thanks flonkerton! I know, those first two chapters irritated me too, but I wanted to try to be true to the 'oh for God's sake say something' thing they had going on at that time. Glad you enjoyed it, and I think it's safer to stop while ahead. :)
