I liked this chapter. It's great seeing Pam strong enough and comfortable enough to push, and to actually tell Jim something he needs to hear, which is that he *did* help her just by being there.
And this allows Jim to get some things off his chest he obviously very much needs to with his worries about his dad, and his worries about Pam pulling away from him, which in turn gives her the opportunity to let him know he won't.
I like the note at the end about how when you care about someone so deeply their pain becomes yours. That feels like a really fundamental part of their relationship.

Loved this heart to heart conversation. They've been having a lot of them true, but considering everything they've gone through, it makes complete sense that they'd need a lot of time and talks to get through everything.
It seems that Jim still wants to be the knight riding to the rescue. Pam though seesm to be saying that while she appreciates the gesture, she doesn't need a hero she just needs him. Then beautifully tells him how just by being him he's already made things better for her.
It's conversations like these that are the mark of a really healthy relationship. To be open and honest with everything. Including the hard things. Espeically the hard things. Feels like a lot of progress was made into strengthening their relationship with this one. Great job.
