Author's Response: Thanks so much for your kind words! Yeah, it is interesting going all the way back to the beginning. There still seems like there is a lot unexplored before season 1 starts. Thanks for your review. :)

Great chapter! I'm really enjoying this story. It's so interesting to hear Pam's version of events...particularly as she is reminiscing; she (and we the readers) knows everything that is going to unfold so she's able to give us a true account of her feelings. Even the feelings that she didn't recognize or want to acknowledge at the time. This story almost has a sad quality to it, as well...which is interesting. I almost feel like she's telling this story many, many years down the road and that maybe she's the only one left to tell the story. I'm not asking for any hints...just really intrigued to see where you take this. :)
Author's Response: So glad you're enjoying it! It's interesting that you find Pam. I'm not so sure she's sad, moreso feeling nastolgic and is also recounting a less than happy time for her. I will say that I don't kill off Jim, if that's what you're worried about. ;) Thanks for the review!

I love how Pam put Jim at the desk near Dwight even though that wasn't what Michael had intended. And I adore the entire watching the video together, just the way she describes how the butterflies were there since the first day for her, the way it's written is so well put. I see so many stories about Pam not being as into Jim as he is into her, so that you have that part in there on his first day, well, I'm applauding you for keeping it so real and believable. And, aw their first lunch together at separate tables. Your attention to detail is phenomenal. I can't wait to read more of this!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! It was fun to write these little moments of Jim and Pam connecting. Yeah, I wanted to show that while Pam may have been in a relationship, she always cared for Jim, too, even if she didn't notice it. I've always thought Pam was just as into Jim as he was her. Glad it worked for you!!

You saved me from the boredom of a Monday afternoon, spaceorphan, as you so often have done lately :) As with The Accident, this story is slowly pulling me in. Your characterizations, the dialog--perfect. Reading this and knowing how Jim felt about Pam from the start, how he was so young and optimistic, how he was going to get his heart broken before winning the prize, just killed me and made me feel so protective of him. With Dwight, you injected the perfect dose of humor and amusement. This gave me butterflies: About half way through the film, Jim shifted in his chair, leaning more in my direction. His arm brushed against mine and I realized just how close we were. I turned my head to see that he was looking at me and not at the screen, a warm smile on his face. Our eyes locked and I noticed that he had the most beautiful, kind green eyes that I had ever seen. My breath caught and I felt an unfamiliar twisting in my stomach. Throwing in the details about the copy machine was so sweet, bringing me back to Jim's toast in Niagara, of course. Finally, this: He gave me a half smile that was more serious than I expected it to be. “I think I’m going to like working here...." I can picture that and the dialog after it so clearly.You know I'll be lurking around, waiting for the next update :)
Author's Response: Ah, Nan, I'm so so glad you're enjoying the story! Glad you liked the small little moments between the two. Even if it's early in their relationship, they were connected from the start. Thanks so much for your kind words! :)
