I love how much Jim hates Todd Packer

I love, love, love the idea that Jim’s choice of Australia as a travel destination is somehow wrapped up in Pam. As much as he wants to run from her - he doesn’t.
The little thinking of Dwight moments were a nice injection of levity, as was the 40 Year Old Virgin/Michael reference.
I’m so glad Pam’s finally on her way! Her interaction with this kindly stranger is a great way to give us a glimpse into how she’s feeling. All in all, a really lovely update.
Author's Response: Thank you! I enjoyed writing those moments, so it's nice to see that they landed with you.

“ She’d started to watch the Forty Year Old Virgin, only to stop after the main character reminded her too much of Michael.”
😂 This cracked me up!! Enjoying this AU so far and looking forward to Pam getting to Australia!
Author's Response: Thank you! It was just...impossible not to write that joke. She'll get there soon--but I do want to give Jim a little time to get back to his human self before she arrives!

Love the action, very fast moving. And funny about The Forty Year Old Virgin.
Author's Response: Thank you! The 40 Year Old Virgin bit was just irresistible as I was writing.

This chapter so unbelievably sweet and sad. I'm almost crying because of so many sights of how much Jim and Pam's lives intervene together. He chose the city she'd drawn and talked about, she heart 'their song'... And oh, this moment 'what should I have said' - it's so believable!
And I like the moment with German tourists; it's so fun! I've been learning German in the uni and totally agree with Jim - if you don't know for sure the praises and the curses sound the same way :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I had fun making up the Jim connections, but the Pam ones are of course easily found in canon--which I think is the best way to fanfic.

Loved the 40 Year Old Virgin reference. It made me laugh! Great update!
Author's Response: Thank you! I couldn't resist when I looked up movies that would have been on a flight back then...

So many lovely little gems scattered throughout this chapter. Jim's thought's that German is a violent sounding language, wanting to imitate Dwight, Todd Packer is not in jail. Lots of fun. Then under all the memories is one inescapable fact. The fact that no matter what he does, how far he runs, how much he lies to himself, he can't find something that's not there. If he's trying to find his heart, he'll need to realize he gave it to Pam a long time ago and she still has it tucked away.
Loved the 40 Year Old Virgin shout-out. Pam's epiphany continues. Most often it's through adversity that we grow and I'm see that here with her.
Lovely as always.
Author's Response: Thank you! I had a lot of fun with Jim's memories. He'll get better as he has a little time to heal--of course, only a very little time before that second flight comes in.
