Well, this was just adorable. I love a flustered Pam. Jim is delightfully Jim. It’s nice to see his dynamic with Dwight remain very much the same despite the delay in starting.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm enjoying writing the initial meeting as flustered; I hope you like flustered Jim as much as flustered Pam, because there will be heavy doses of both.

This was just fun. No other word for it but fun. Quick question for you. Is this story taking place in the standard Office timeline or is this present day? I only ask because if it's in the standard Office timeline this puts this scene somewhere around 2002-2003. Which would make Pam a pretty big comic book nerd because (and yes I did look this up) the last time prior to this date that Groot showed up in a Marvel comic was in an issue of Spiderman from 1997. Groot's next appearance in comics wasn't until 2006. Now I'm all sorts of ready and willing to believe that Pam has that level of nerdiness buried within her. It could make for some real fun story lines. If this story is set in the present day where Groot is the talking tree we all know and love from the MCU, also all well and good. Yes I know that's kind of an odd thing to obsess on, but hey it stuck out.
Getting back on track, delightful banter. Pam's annoyance at Roy, her instant sparks with Jim, and both of them already getting in step with annoying Dwight were a joy to read.
Author's Response: Thanks for this. I think I may run with that--I'm actually trying to be deliberately obscure about whether this is now or original continuity, but I might have some fun playing up nerd!Pam. I appreciate the comments, as always!
