This was a beautiful story and I enjoyed every minute of it. It's always interesting to imagine the many other ways they could have gotten together earlier than in canon, and I really liked this one. It felt natural and real.
Thank you for writing and sharing this with us!

For a minute there I thought you were going to break my heart. I loved the ending. This was so great!

WW, this was so lovely. I just got caught up on the last four chapters and loved every second. You wrote the balance of angst and new love and excitement and friendship and heartbreak so well! I loved how Pam looked for reasons to stay and how Jim called her out on her weirdness right away and how he stood up for himself and how she realized what she had before it got away. So great, lady!

I have never been more relieved to read a chapter than this one. I was so scared that Jim was going to leave after Pam rejected him. Thank god she broke up with Roy and thank god he visited her one last time.

You did a really good job in this one of letting us know how conflicted Pam was - it comes through pretty plainly even through Jim's POV and even at the moments Jim isn't necessarily seeing it clearly.
And I also appreciated that you gave a nod towards how much Jim, at this early date, is still committed to saving their friendship and how important that relationship is to him.
This was just a satisfying conclusion in general. Good job with this one!

YESSSS WE LOVE TO SEE THIS TYPE OF ENDING.
THE BUTTER PECAN OH MY GOSH. I'd totally forgotten about how they met up.
WW, if you ever leave this site again for years on end, I will be seriously upset.
Freaking amazing. Ily. That is all.

Thank God for that adorable, smile-worthy ending!
I like how there was an actual outside catalyst in this story that pushed Pam to break up with Roy, which was the fact that he kissed another girl. That made their breakup MUCH more believable. So good call on putting that in earlier.
And for the record, I think this was an appropriately long ending, I don’t feel cheated out of a resolution at all!

I'm really, really not okay. There were so many times I had to just stop and take a minute before I could continue. His reaction to her leaving was spot on. I love how he didn't put the full blame on himself. They both were a part of it, they both allowed it, he has every right to share the blame with her.
"each time driving a nail further into the coffin of what they were or could ever be." Dying.
And then their conversation in the kitchen. Jim being so frustrated that he won't talk to her about what happens. Ugh. And then Pam just being upset and confused. UGH. My heart. And then of course Michael would force them to do a sales meeting together.
But that sales meeting resulting in their conversation in the car? This is really where I started to fall apart. "Freaking talk about it for once?!" "I can't" when she reached for his hand but wouldn't look at him. All of those killed me and I really just needed to take a minute to remember how to breathe.
And then the ending. WW. THE ENDING. Every word was perfect. His huge speech being "ruined" just because she looks pretty and he can't help but tell her? Kill me. And then him finally getting to his big speech and she interrupts him with "I broke up with Roy." WW. That was RUDE. But I loved it. Oh MAN did I love it.
And then "Can you take me to the store? I'm out of butter pecan." Talk about full circle. I'm gonna go sit in a puddle of my own tears but holy crap, WW. This story was amazing from the very first sentence to the very last one. Please never stop writing. I wouldn't be able to exist without stories like this.

Okay, way to rip my heart out, stomp on it, and put it back into me, WW. WOW, this was a trip. Jim, poor Jim! I wanted to run and give him the largest hug I possibly could. To be told no not only once, but TWICE? Ouch!
Then that ending. Pam gaining courage after learning he might leave, and coming back to him. My heart is so full from that.
Also, I’m adding butter pecan ice cream to my list of “food to try after my wedding.” This was amazing! Great job, WW!

WW! I'll admit you had me going with this one. The more I read and the closer my scroll bar got to the bottom of my screen the more nervous I was getting. The tension, the fear, the uncertainty with everything going on between those two was just palpable.
I really like that Jim and Pam do have that conversation in the car after Applebees. In canon had they had a talk like that after The Kiss I'm sure it would have gone nearly the same. So that really rings true for me. Jim preparing to leave feels real too. However I'm so glad you had him take his last shot there after a few days. And also a few days off from work. Pam sees what her life would be like alone and I think that's really what motivates her drive down the North Carolina. Great way to give them both the perspective they needed. Then that ending with him once more on her doorstep. Bravo. And to end it all off with the hunt for more ice cream? That's the Jim and Pam we know and love. Lovely.
Great writing through all of this. It was a treat from start to finish.
