I desperately wish you had written more in this fandom.

I really loved this story. Glimpses into different moments of Jim and Pam's lives through their hands...*sigh*...makes me happy to see how far they've come. I really admire the way you used a minimal amount of words to capture each moments so perfectly.

Of course, my favorites are the ones where they're together, especially this part: "He runs his fingers over her goosebumps, reading the Braille of her body."

Excellent job!

This was just beautiful. My favorite was the next to last one, with Jim reading the Braille of her body. Very well done!!

Ah, wow, this was a great little look at various parts of their relationship. I happen to like the later ones the best :)

Shortlatte, in less than a week, you've worked your way onto my favorite authors list.  Love your style.  This story is just wonderful.

Author's Response: Thank you so! It really means so much to hear that. My writing will probably slow down a bit as I start classes this week, but hopefully I'll be able to have a new one up before too long.rn

I love the attention to detail and the things you chose to include in this story. Really enjoyed it and look forward to more stories from you :)

I really like how you've tied these little snippets in the progression of the relationship -- it helps to fill in the long spaces until Sept. 17th.

This is very nice.  I like the details you chose to include.  Like how Jim's aggravation that Roy discourages Pam from painting causes him to grind his teeth.  And how he leaps to conclusions about what she's painting with his acrylics after he sees two flecks of paint on her hand.  And that she leaves her mark on him!

Lovely.

This was absolutely, breathtakingly lovely. I adored the whole thing, but these two parts are my favorites:

That first day, when she was the new receptionist and her name did not yet come to his lips like second nature and

If she’d been braver back in May, she could be seeing him right now, tapping his pencil on the desk across from hers and smiling at her with that look that, she knows now, is just for her.

I love the intimacy of those two moments. Amazing job!! :)

This is really sweet and shows a lovely progression of their relationship through a fairly unique angle. My favourite bit was:
But she seeks his hand too, sometimes. After a fight with Roy, in the breakroom, she laughs off her problems through a stray tear. And she squeezes his hand briefly before standing in front of the vending machine, taking longer than usual to pick a flavor of chips so the urge to cry will fade.
Nicely done :)
