Hehe, Michael is fantastic in this - I love his genuine enthusiasm once he gets into his spiel, and the image of Jim literally slapping a hand over his mouth is great, as is him knowing without needing to look that Pam does not appreciate Michael’s compliment. And Pam’s butterflies at the end 😍
Author's Response: Thank you! I enjoy having Michael in in bits and drabs; so you'll see more of him for sure. It's his shop after all...

"He is smiling, but it’s the kind of manic smile that she suspects strongly might conceal a great deal of tension." Good way to describe Michael from a sympathetic outsider's perspective.
"Michael looks like a toddler who just grabbed a coffee cup off the counter and is very proud while everyone else is just waiting for the splash and smash." ALSO a spot-on description of Michael - and the toddler thing works, because it's that sort of fond exasperation. You can't really blame him, because, you know, he's a toddler.
Very entertaining chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked those: I was pretty proud of them :)

Just going back there because it's convenient, right Pam, just keep telling yourself that. Ah the appearance of Micheal in all his Micheal glory. Though I do wonder, it was his dream to open a coffee shop but he doesn't know how to make coffee. Hmmm, then again, considering the name of the joint, coffee could just be an excuse to allow him to create a place where he can to stand-up. Heaven help us all if it comes to that.
Lovely to see Pam's reactions to Jim. How she's looking for him and responding to when he is and isn't there. Still all sorts of adorable and I can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thank you! There's a little more angst coming up, but also an explanation for some elements of Michael...

Oh, I adore the font joke! I don't even try to guess what font Pam is so firmly repulsed by (but in my head, Jim's nametag looked much like a ransom note with letters cut from different magazines).
And I hope that butterflies will survive the steaming milk shover :)
Author's Response: Thank you! There are fonts like that, though I was thinking more of a handwriting-style one. Thanks for reading :)

Gotta know what font that is since you already mentioned comic sans. Park avenue? Myriad. zapt chancery?
Meeting Michael was fun and you got his energy (especially when high on own supply) and vibe down.
Lotta fun.
Author's Response: I didn't have a specific font in mind, more a class: those spidery handwriting-like fonts that are impossible to read on small screens. Glad you enjoyed the chapter!
