Summary: "Like all Mondays, they took separate cars because Pam had her art class across town after work. Like all Mondays, Pam dropped the kids off at Jim’s parent’s house in the morning and he picked them up in the evening. But today was not a regular Monday—as Jim would soon discover." After an unexpected occurrence, Pam finds herself falling in love with her husband, Jim, all over again.

Another great chapter. Ahh.. Who wouldn't want to fall in love with Jim Halpert all over again-even if you couldn’t remember the first time! I hope you give them some ‘alone time’ away from the pressure of parenting soon!

Author's Response: I know... Jim Halpert is the ideal man, right? Don\'t worry, Jim and Pam will get their alone time! Thanks for reading and reviewing! =)

'And there it was, the most anticipated moment of the day—his kiss.'

Awesome!

Author's Response: Is it pathetic that I anticipated writing about the kiss?? I must be going insane! I anticipate Jim's kiss all the time! (pointing at myself, mouthing "pathetic") Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

I hate to say it, but THAT would have made excellent TV. Too bad TO's not a drama because I'm sure JKras could have pulled this off--Oh God, how heart wrenching!! Can’t wait to see what else you have planned.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I feel EXACTLY the same way! That\'s why I\'m writing it, because I can see JKras (love the nickname, by the way) playing it sooo well! \r\nThank you so much! Stay tuned!

Summary: It's almost Valentine's Day in the dead of winter and things have been pretty chilly between Jim and Pam since his return to Scranton...new girlfriend in tow.  Now, Michael has chosen to send the two of them out of town, to a training seminar.  But a storm is brewing. Will things become even more chilly between the salesman and the receptionist...or might things actually begin to heat up?

I am quite literally vacationing halfway around the world and I can't help myself from checking every day for new chapters. This is like torture getting a few chapters at a time...but great knowing that there will be a few more chapters waiting there tomorrow! Thanks for such a great story!

Author's Response: Go out...see the sites...breathe in some clear fresh air.  I'm honored that you actually take time out while vacationing to check in on this story.  Thank you.  And, just where is "halfway around he world"?  Hope you're having fun.

Summary: It isn’t like she has ever been afraid of falling in love with him, because, most noticeably, she kind-of sort-of did.

This was absolutely beautiful. I think I've read this chapter at least 10 times. I just wanted to pipe in this late in the game to tell you how wonderful I think this story is. Definitely in my top 5---and it keeps getting better each chapter! A sincere 'thank you' from this reader!
