Never thought a storyline so different from what we see on TV could be so compelling. Thanks for a refreshing take on AU Pam. I am looking forward to the next chapter!!!

That was a sweet and satisfying ending...but I must confess to a little disappointment...you had quite a bit of tension and buildup going on at the convention up to this chapter! And steam really barely even hinted at; suddenly, we're jumped ahead into the present time. Just kind of wish we hadn't skipped what (must have?) happened a little later. Not complaining! Loved it and very much enjoyed reading it. Thanks for writing!

Author's Response:

MCC - I completely get what you are saying.  I struggled with this last chapter and what to do next in terms of Pam and Jim.  In the end - I just thought that the "first date, first time" stuff had been overdone.  Now I see it might have been a bit of a cop out - but the truth is I'm struggling lately and really am fighting to get things finished.  It's kind of bumming me out truth be told.  I'm kind of jealous of those who are starting out writing right now.  I'm envious of their endless well of ideas. 

There was a time where I couldn't stop writing if I tried.  Now it's kind of a fight to tell every story.  I'm glad you enjoyed it anyway.  Thanks so much for the review.

Riveting as always, Wendolf. Thank you for writing it. I really liked the moment as they held hands at her door - described with such clarity. Yeah, and...the latter part was pretty great too.

Author's Response: Thanks MCC -- that is really sort of how I see that first post-date exchange going: awkwardly, carefully, tentatively. I\'ve written it other ways in other fics, but I\'ve always thought Jim and Pam communicate best when they\'re not using words. Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to review!

Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed it. I figured since Jim is pretty tall, his sister would be too.
