I just love this story! It’s so cute and I get such happy feelings imagining sweet college aged Jim and Pam. Reading this gives me a lovely bit of nostalgia, too. Great job as always!
Author's Response: Thank you! I am so happy you're enjoying it!

Aww, Jim is so sweet to Pam in this chapter, I really thought he was going to let her down on the dance for a while there. Glad to see that he pulled through for her.
Author's Response: I considered having him let her down, but he's let her down in the past and I thought that might let you all down so I refrained haha.

Yep, this is precisely what I need in my life right now — happy, fluffy Jim and Pam. I have to re-read this chapter more often :)
Thank you!
Author's Response: Aw thank you! I love fluffy Jam so much myself and it is quite fun to write!

“our bench” Our. OUR. How is this story so cute?! I’ve missed it. I love your bench scenes.
Oh stop. It gets better! Ugh. My heart. There’s nothing quite like young requited love!
A cheesy dance invitation? And yes Jim is the biggest romantic sap in the world and I am right there with him!
Your end note is so precious! Obviously it worked out okay! I remember being so nervous when I was dating my husband because I feel like I say “I love you” way too often in casual conversation to my friends and I was worried I would do the same thing to him and it would be awkward. My boyfriend when I was like 17 said it at the end of our first date (we were friends first so it wasn’t like we didn’t know each other but still) and I freaked out! I said it back because I had no idea what else to say and my diary from that night is hilarious. Sorry not sorry for this rambling review?
Author's Response:
Oh my gosh, Jenna. This review is EVERYTHING. Your end note is just as spectacular! My diary entries are such a piece of work from this era in my life as well!
But yes, THEIR bench! As I write it, I just wish I knew these two people in real life as this version of their characters. I can only imagine how sweet they'd be to everyone they meet.

Are you trying to give us all diabetes with how sweet this chapter is? Cause if so you've absolutely succeeded. The build up to everything, just a seemingly normal day of getting coffee and tea, just sitting on a bench, and then the big moment. I'm sure Jim was sweating bullets. Especially giving her that necklace and poem. Seems just the sort of cheesy overly romantic cliche thing Jim would do and that Pam would love. I loved it I'll tell you that much.
Just wonderful.
Author's Response: Mission accomplished! It definitely is a total Jim move!
