Leave it to Karen to ruin the moment between JAM.
She’s as bad as Roy.
I have to admit that I’m curious about the phone call between Jim and Karen, and seeing her reaction to finding out that JAM is in a hotel together.
Looking forward to the next update.
Author's Response: Thank you for your review! I actually don’t hate Karen. I didn’t love her but she just got swept up in a relationship with a guy who was completely hung up on another girl and that sucks. She may become more a villain in this story, though, so I guess just wait and see! ;)

Nice reversal of the diversity day nap there, I really liked that! And yes, I did forget about Karen, Im interested in seeing how she handles all of this...
Pam letting Jim reminisce about the good times with Larissa nicely rounded things out.
Author's Response: Thank you! It was for sure a callback to Diversity Day. :)

You're drawing an interesting parallel here between Larissa and Pam - that in some ways they have a similar relationship dynamic which maybe explains a little of his initial comfort with Pam, and also why it's so comforting for him to have Pam there with him at this moment.
Author's Response: Thank you for your review! That’s a very true observation about Pam and Larissa.

So my wife is a Physical Therapist. I asked her about the injuries here and she replied, and I quote, "That's neuro. I have tried hard to forget as much as I can about neuro." Just kind of a fun aside.
Anyway, it's really telling that after seeing Larissa, Jim comes to Pam. I love it. He knows she's there for him and he trusts her. Love it. Same with the discussions they get into. Pam knows how hard this is for him so she does her best to bring out the best in him. Seems to work too.
Jim resting his head on her shoulder seemed like a really nice callback to when she rested her head on his shoulder that day in the conferance room. Despite a trying day in the office and losing his best customer, it wasn't a bad day for Jim. Similar feeling here. Despite his sister in the hospital it's not as bad a day since he's there with Pam.
And there's the dun-dun-dun moment. Really looking forward to how it all goes down with Karen. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: I will admit that all my medical knowledge comes from Grey’s Anatomy and quick google searches. Haha
I definitely had the Diversity Day scene in mind when I wrote this chapter. I feel like a lot of Jim and Pam’s experiences get mirrored from season 2 and season 3. So that was one way of showing that.
Thanks, warrior!
