I just love the way you put words together. That line at the end about convincing Jim to change his calendar is beautiful. As always, can't wait to read what happens next!
Author's Response: Thank you! I really appreciate hearing that.

This line: "Eventually the light failed, and he made his way back to the hostel, focusing more carefully this time on the landmarks so he wouldn’t get lost again." So resigned and so melancholy... he still feels lost inside. Nice job with words there...
I'm glad to see Pam doing a little something for herself here and getting out of the rut of pleasing everyone else. That makes me happy.
Hopefully, soon, they'll both find there way to each other. I'm enjoying the journey.
Thanks for writing!
Author's Response: Aw, thank you! I really appreciate the kind words.

That sentence about the Ashes may just be the thing that convinces my husband to take up fic reading... (I’d have to get him to watch The Office first, but that’s a completely different battle).
Boy oh boy, that Year of Beesly/getting Jim to change his calendar thing was a brilliant piece of writing. You’re packing a punch into these short chapters.

Ha! Thank you! My dad is a raving cricket fan (which takes some doing in the States--he gets up at 3am to watch tests) so I have a lot of feels about the Ashes. And thanks for the compliment :)

Loved the sci-fi reference with Jim. If one knows about his enemy (frienemy?) in Dwight, one is more able to confound them. I'm sure at this point he's also glad for a reprieve in his thought patterns. I think this is the first time we saw him thinking about something and it not going eventually to Pam.
Still loving Pam setting out to do what she wants to do. The Year of Beesly is a great way to think of it and I'm excited to see how this new found confidence in herself pays off.

Thank you! I think you're right. He's gradually moving that way. And the YoB is a fun concept for me to play around with.
