An umbrella? Sheer brillance. Sad but utterly perfect.
Author's Response: Thank you! It did make me sad to write the ending, but I was doing a prequel, so I couldn\'t have a happy JAM ending.
Summary: Exploring the potential relationship of the wonder that is JAM. Their ups, downs, whatever as a couple. Some mature content will come later on in the story. Spoilers up to Casino Nights.

Ahhh. 9:23 - my new favorite time. Loved every syllable. Of course Jim would bring her an umbrella, and then hold the door for her when they walked into work.
SIGH.
Gosh we're all being so PG about this.
I'm telling you someone better do a steamy one soon...I feel like I'm in withdrawal or something. So, so sad...LOL!
Author's Response: Thanks, xoxoxo! Yeah, I\'m kinda in withdrawal too. Will get on that. (TWSS)

Aw. This made me sad - but it was a great premise. Poor Jim. I think there are more than a few ladies waiting in the wings for him though. ;) LOL! at the TWoP reference. Great job!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! It made me sad, too, but I like the idea of Jim as the ultimate talk-show guest. :)

I don't know. I think it depends on the stalker. ;)
Write more.
Author's Response: Hee. I agree that Jim is as good a stalker as they get. That sentence was very much inspired by my own life, and I would like to think Jim shares my thoughts on the subject. ;)
