Glad to see growth on Roy’s part, and Pam seems freer than before. Pam’s right they wasn’t good for each other.

The emails for these last two update had been sitting in my inbox to make sure that I knew how long it had been since I’d read and reviewed this, and I’m sorry it has taken me so long! I loved this story, WW, and how you so perfectly made it follow and fit the song and gave us a look into Pam’s mental state after the breakup. I think it would have gone a lot like this had she left Roy and got to go to Jim right after his confession. Beautiful job!

Yes I 10000% only read the epilogue for this story because it intrigued me and I figured I could handle it. Don't let my interest in reading something get you all excited. You have such a knack for this kind of productive fluff, my friend. I felt a little tug in my heart for our dear Pam, and that is always appreciated.

Finally got to read this bit of closure. .
*Something stirs in her brain, as memories swirl about this apartment and her time with Roy. She had been honest when she said it wasn't all bad. It just was a square peg in a round hole situation, and they had both gotten comfortable with the way they had haphazardly tried to wedge themselves together over the years as they grew older and the edges sharpened.* what a well written way to describe what seemed to have occurred long ago but she had blinders on and couldn't see they no longer fit (if they ever did),
Nice to see him acknowledge some of his shortcomings and her talents.
And I do appreciate that Jim knew enough that she needed to do this on her own, secure enough to let her and supportive enough to have Chinese and love waiting for her at home.
Nice job wrapping it up and on the whole thing.

This was a nice button to put on this one... giving Pam and Roy the opportunity for a civil parting, and one that acknowledges everything that was and wasn't between them. And there are a couple of really good descriptive lines here: "they had both gotten comfortable with the way they had haphazardly tried to wedge themselves together over the years as they grew older and the edges sharpened" and "The way he fills the cracks and crevices that had so long felt empty and void of anything good." That feels like a way canon Pam might be think about her relationships. And the little detail of Jim knowing what needs to be done to fix their Chinese food is a quite nice glimpse into their daily life. Well done!

Nice way to end things. I like the growth shown here in Roy. He did spiral a bit after Pam broke up with him, but here it also looks like he learned from that a lot quicker than in canon. No coming upstairs for a Coke or chicken or fish nonsense. Nice to see that out of him.
Feels like Pam has grown some more too. She's gotten perspective on who she was and wasn't with Roy. And who she is with Jim. The filling in the cracks bit was a wonderful way to bring that out.
Great job with all of this. It was a ton of fun to go on this journey with her through your words. I really liked it.

I really love what you did here, Pam's need for closure and Roy having actually learned something came across really well. Lovely story!

This was the most perfect way to end this. Both in terms of the fic itself and the song its based on. “Youre gonna find someone better for you than I was” “sorry I wasnt that for you” and jim’s simple text about chinese just solidifying Pam’s choices. Ugh. Will be rereading this for forever.
