You know, things are really tough in the HonestAndCourageous household right now, and I was feeling really defeated until I read this... YAY! Dorky Jim waved to the public, Pam turned away from what she was holding onto and they couldn't let each other out of their sight... needless to say I'm not ready for this one to be over yet, but so excited for the next chapter.
Thanks for writing!
Author's Response: I'm sorry to hear that things are tough, HAC (I'm not surprised, alas, since they're tough everywhere, but my best wishes to you in not giving in to defeat!). I'm glad this could do whatever little bit to cheer you up. Thanks for the review!

I read this chapter three times so far, and I'm grinning like an idiot right now because they are so them. Their communication is unbelievably sweet and witty. And there are so many lines I like (Pam's realization that Jim didn't expect to see her at all and Jim's understanding that no, he wasn't insane are precious), but the final line 'you're not getting away again that easily' is just the best.
Thank you so much!
Author's Response: Thank you! I hope I can keep that up!

Time for another story from warrior4 at work. So, tonight started out horrifically busy. Whereas my company likes to have 5-6 ambulances cover our area at night, this night we have 3. Needless to say we're all getting our butts kicked with calls. Than an even more enjoyable (not) event happens. The internet on my truck won't work so I can't pull up the program I use to write my medical reports about each call. Finally we get cleared to our station to get a new ambulance with working internet. And now I have 6 reports to write that each take 10-15 minutes each to complete. Yeah, good times. So what do I do instead? I click over to MTT to see if "Stay-at-home-Dad" has any more reviews and inso doing see this story has updated. I couldn't think of a better motivation to get my reports written as quickly as possible than knowing there's a new chapter up. Well maybe that and the king size 3 Musketeers bar I bought also as a "get your reports done," treat. Anyway I digress. Clearly said reports are filed and this chapter is read. On with the review.
So many great lines throughout this whole chapter. "getting married to *that guy* in mumblty-mumblty hours," "maybe there were more potent 'botanicals'...than he realized," and of course the start of the coup-de-gras, "what the hell are you doing here?" followed of course by the rejoinder, "Getting a crick in my neck, apparently. What the hell are you doing all the way up there?" Just wonderful ways to set the scene and pull your readers into the world you've created.
Grrr, now we're getting another call. I shall return to this review as soon as I'm able.
40 minutes later I'm back. Now where was I? Ah yes.
I was very curious to see how their first conversation would go. Excited? Angsty? Fearful? Joyous? Lots of different ways it could go. However what we got was just some classic feeling JAM banter. Just lovely through it all.
It feels they're starting out on a good foot with this conversation. Jim being all agog that she's there. Her feeling everything falling into place as she turns away from the Opera House.
Can't wait to see how they react to each other once they're truly face to face. Bravo on this one my friend. Bravo.
Author's Response: As always, I appreciate both your in-depth reviews and the compliment you pay me by telling me that my updates are important to you. I really enjoyed writing this one, so I love hearing that you enjoyed it!

That most definitely lived up to expectations, I love that they’re still them. It’s nice in a way, that they’re on different levels and have a moment to process before they’re really physically together. I absolutely adored that line about Pam turning away from the things she’s long wanted to see because Jim is the other direction. That’s how you know indeed. What a great update!
Author's Response: Thank you! I really appreciate this, and I hope I can keep on living up to those expectations!
