I loved Pam talking to the turtle dove and telling it no funny business, it just highlights her frenzied state of mind! Love that they bumped into each other and again Karen-free. So glad Jim took a copy of the photos! They've essentially gone on the date that Jim was meant to be on with Karen, what an upgrade for him, and a total twist on Pam's day that has flipped her frown upside down. Cheery pip old boy.

Hahaha honestly Pam talking to the dove was pretty much my favourite thing.
Gotta get Karen out the way as much as possible. No one wants her around. Jim deffo go that upgrade.
Merci boo for the revoo

It's like the universe is sending her and Jim all these signs that they should be together. Despite what Kelly wants, it feels like it's Pam and Jim who are in the middle of a Hallmark Christmas movie. All Jim needs now is to put on a red flannel shirt at some point.
A couple things I picked up on though. Jim doesn't have a tree, which means he and Karen didn't spend any time at his place decorating a tree. Also Karen kind of flaked on him here. To not even offer him a ride back when she has to break off the date like that? Seems kind of suspicious.
I'm also kind of with Pam a little here. Jim's getting back to normal, friend-wise, but she still has the memory of him saying "I'm in love with you," bouncing around in her mind. Also she clearly wants more than friendship. I doubt it's 100% intentional, but it does feel like Jim's kind of leading her on a bit considering they haven't really hashed out their unresolved issues. Which of course is where I imagine Pam's feelings of conflicted feelings are coming from too. Great job in the writing to bring all that out in a fairly short chapter.
Really looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. My bet is that Karen sees that picture and puts 2 and 2 together. Remains to be seen though.

Oh a red flannel shirt, that's not a bad idea!
Jim doesn't have a tree, good spot on that one :)
Jim is definitely giving off mixed signals and confusing Pam's all over the place. Maybe he needs to go on the naughty list this year. And thank you! I find it so hard to write briefly and have really tried to keep this one short, so glad it's all coming out ok!
Lots more to come! Thanks so much for the review and so happy you're enjoying it!
