You really get a clear sense of just how hard the previous year was on them here. That there are so many things that are reminding them of past heartache. Yet, there's still laughter, fun, and desire coming out more and more. They still have baggage to unpack for sure, but their friendship is already re-blooming and it's wonderful to read.
Jim not really knowing what to expect from her seems to ring true as well. Pam has been this unapproachable thing for so long. The last time he tried flying that high, his wings melted and he crashed into the sea. Makes sense he'd be a bit more guarded now. But they're also now in a much different place. Maybe his wings won't melt this time around.
Nice job to bring that all out.
Author's Response:
Thanks Warrior4 for that. It's such a pleasure to read your feedback. I feel like one of those mediocre writers, whose work is enhanced with the way it has been described and interpreted than just the work itself. I agree to everything you said. When someone is burned so bad, I am sure there are reservation and hesitations before one is ready to jump again.
I am working on getting their friendship repaired. It would be a slow journey though before we seem them giggling on screen.

Always love the contrast between Pam and Karen's reactions to the fall of Jan - it does feel like Pam and Jim would have both maintained a little affection for her at this point, in much the way they do for Dwight and Michael.
And this cliffhanger is just evil.
Author's Response:
I totally agree darjeelingandcoke. Irespective of how bonkers Jan was, she had her moments of sensibilities and she did care about Michael in a weird way. And Jim and Pam have shown care for every colleague of theirs', despite of her their eccentricity.
I am glad you find the cliffhanger evil, because I can't wait to know how you feel about where I took the story from there.
