This was a *very* sweet ending, and I love the callback to him making the mental note to tell her about how the sunlight looked on her face some day.
Nice job with this one!

So lovely. I'm glad like the teapot note we don't actually know exactly what she said, but we know exactly enough.

This was so good! I loved reading about them in this new setting, doing things that are so familiar with all the references to canon while incorporating elements that I haven’t seen before. And you are such a lovely writer! Your expressions and phrasing are beautiful. I am so glad I was finally able to sit and read this all at once! This last chapter especially just made me smile so much. Already looking forward to my next reading of a Dernhelm original!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, BT! I'm quite insecure about my writing, and your assessment excited me. And I'm glad that my story made you smile :)

“The frantic, nervous energy boiling in his bloodstream was reduced to the soft, lazy humming.” Well, this is the sweetest thing. You built up Jim’s frantic energy so well and to have it soothed like this, with Pam’s touch was delightful.
“I just like my berries mixed” This is so perfect.
The postcards! Their home! The cat! I love it all so much. Oh, and to end it with Pam’s postcard arriving after a week and prompting Jim to buy a ring! I love the way you intertwine canon into this very unique world/story!
I’m so sad to see this end, but so glad you wrapped it up in such a lovely way. I look forward to the sequel!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Jenna! This story made me happy, and I'm excited that you enjoyed it :)

Thank you so much for sharing this story with us, it's been a great ride!
I love the warmth and contentedness of this chapter, it's really a balm to the earlier chapters of angst, uncertainty, and worry. I also loved the inclusion of the callback to the postcard that Pam sent on the day of their first kiss.
Quick aside to the postcards they sent out, I live near one of those locations! So it's like being told hello... fictionally! ;)
Going back a little, of course Pam likes her berries mixed, that got a chuckle and a smile out of me.
I wouldn't be opposed to a sequel, but I think you probably knew that already. I'll even forgive you for making them cat people!

Thank you for reading and reviewing, DG! It means a lot to me. And I'm glad you like the story even though I made them cat people (but keeping a dog in a rental apartment is too difficult...)

Lovely way to wrap this all up. Jim getting antsy and fidgiting to get out of the office as quickly as possible. Dwight secretly keeping tabs on him. Pam moving on with her art. Just lots of fun all around.
I love the insights you've given us to how they're doing now. A much better version of both of the from how they started. Full of life and energy. Reinforcing each other in their shared life. The postcards are great too.
A bit of inspiration from Pam's teapot letter there in not letting us know what was on the first postcard? Very in feeling with the show.
Great job bringing them to this point.

Thank you for your lovely review, Warrior! I'm glad that this worked out well.
And I decided to keep the message in secret - it was meant to be read just by Jim after all :)
