Had to mop myself up off the floor after Jim (finally!) took his fingers off her dress. Jeez. And then you gut-punched with that last paragraph.

Bravo ;)

He closes his eyes, falls asleep, and doesn’t dream of her.

A small triumph, eh?

Fantastic, as usual. Couldn't wait to click on this one!

Cotton, not aluminum. Like he’s speaking under bed sheets, his hand pulling them up over their heads, making their own fortress. The sunlight seeps through the thin layer of fabric and everything glows. It makes it easy to forget all the things that are broken now, all the things they haven’t talked about.

All the things hovering outside the sheet. Brilliant image right there.

What they fill in for Jim to say versus what he says (Kelly? ouch, and so realistic) - fantastic.

So glad you updated!

Love that she never looks at him, then has to sense him in other ways.

Lovely final line.

The five minutes immediately following Casino Night. And then beyond. Author is spoiler-free.

Mmm. You know, I usually don't like stories where people from Jim's or Pam's past show up + facilitate. But people from Jim/Pam's past who show up to offer sexual release + understanding? Kryptonite!!!

Seriously, I followed your comment at Paper Bride to this fic, and so glad I did. Delicious details without full-on play-by-play. Great characterizations. And I'm a real sucker for a Jim POV. I like your use of the do-over - how Jim brings it up, and of course Pam's line about do-overs only being for when you didn't get it right the first time. Awesome ;)



Author's Response:

Glad you took a gander. And I agree - I generally don't like stories that introduce new characters (with a few notable exceptions.) I've never done it in a story before or since...but this one kind of invaded my thoughts and I had to purge. Took some liberties with the Jim as writer thing too, but...I just like him like that. And yes indeed, the boy certainly deserved a little sexual release.

Glad you liked it. Especially appreciate your comments re: characterization and suggestive details. I guess the 'do-over' is bound to become the new literary motif. Who knew?

Wow - great analogy!

She has plans (errands), goals (getting them finished early), dreams (reading her book), and gives them up for Roy. This is perfect:

He was warm against her, and the bed was comfortable. If she tried to get up, she knew it would wake him.

Awesome!



Author's Response: Thank you, shan! I'm relieved it worked like it was supposed to.

"Roy felt a wry triumph. At least he knew her that well."

Nice. Not well enough, Roy. Loved the cobb salad exchange - very true to JAM. This is a great way for Roy to see why



Author's Response: Yeah, Roy doesn't get to see what the audience sees (at least not yet!), so I think it was important for him to really understand. Thank you!

Nice. Especially...

"He whispered her name, to comfort and to coax, and at this break of the silence, time seemed to speed forward with a whoosh and the sound of a sob, and suddenly, Pam’s face was buried in his chest and his arms were wrapped around her, his nose in her hair."
