A great start! The grocery store scene was very well done. I was getting irritated with Pam along with Jim since she was throwing such garbage into the cart! I hate grocery shopping with people who eat that kind of crap *lol* Can't wait to read more! And please expose us to more music!

Author's Response: Oh yes- Jim and Pam\'s grocery trip was very much inspired by my own supermarket adventures with my husband, only the roles are reversed because he\'s always sneaking random junk into our cart when I\'m not looking. I shouldn\'t mind since he usually pays, but still. Grr...

I\'m glad you enjoyed the chapter, and I promise more music is on the way. ;) Thank you for reviewing.

My ten year anniversary with my own Jim will be in May. Reading this story and the description of Jim and Pam's first steps into becoming physically involved sent my heart a flutter and brought back such wonderful, intoxicating memories. THANK YOU.

Author's Response: A lot of what I\'ve written here, Lux, is, in a small way, based on some wonderful, intoxicating memories of my own. I\'m glad I could bring you some happy thoughts & you\'re very welcome. Thanks for your sweet review.

This was an absolute great AU version of the Casino Night kiss that changed everything. And the perfect way to end day two after spending so much time together in day one and two. I love it and can't wait for the next chapter and the return to Pam's POV! I've been dying to find out what she's thinking throughout all of this!

Author's Response: Thanks so much for everything. I appreciate it greatly :) Yeah, I can\'t wait to get back to Pam\'s POV as well. I think she\'s got a lot to say.

This story just continues to get better and BETTER. I kind of almost wish that Roy had actually punched Jim on the show, in hopes that Pam might rush to him but then again Karen would have been there too so...nevermind :) The way you've handled a fight between Jim and Roy here is very realistic and in character. I also enjoyed the conversation between Pam and Roy at the end, both tying up loose ends and gaining some closure. A very realistic conversation. Great job!

Author's Response: Thanks, Lux, so much for all the compliments. I appreciate it greatly. This story gets more fun to write as I go on and I\'d like to think that we haven\'t even arrived at the best parts yet. It is a shame we never got to see a real Jim vs. Roy. I think that might of meant Karen would have been out of there sooner. Anyway, thank you again for helping me keep this story grounded and in character. Who knows what kind of tangents I would have gone on had I been left on my own. ;)

I never thought I'd say this but I found Jim flirting with Karen to be incredibly attractive! I long for the days when Pam longed for Jim. I can't believe I'm saying this but I like seeing him play mind games! Well done, as ALWAYS :)

Author's Response: Ah, Lux, I\'m glad you liked Jim. I was afraid I was going to turn him into too much of an ass. Gotta feel bad for Karen though. Fancy New Beesly is about to arise and stake her claim. Thank you again, as always! :)

OoOo, who could be calling her?! Can't wait for the next chapter :) Again, I loved how you handled their reactions to the kiss. You were true to what happened on the show but also true to your story. It worked out perfectly!

Author's Response: It\'s Ed McMahon telling her she\'s won a million dollars ;) Thank you, Lux. I very much appreciate your support and help with this story. :)

Yet another great chapter! There were times where I wanted to slap Michael and Pam while reading because it reminded me so much of the show (which is a compliment, by the way! you've really got their characters down pat) but then I would have to remind myself that in your universe Pam and Jim just literally met the day before so it would be understandable for her to try to blow off his possible feelings for her. Do you plan on ever switching back to Pam's POV for the story? I keep wondering what she's thinking throughout all of this.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review, always glad to hear what people think.\r\n\r\nThe short answer to your question is yes, I\'ll definitively get back to Pam\'s POV. Each day will alternate the POV and I specifically wrote it first person so that the story gets filtered through one person\'s eyes. I have two more chapters set in day two, wrapping up Jim\'s story and in day three it shifts back to Pam. Then, a lot of questions about why Pam acts the way she does, including why she\'s brushing off Jim\'s advances, will hopefully be answered.\r\n\r\nI also really appreciate the compliment about the characterization, it\'s something I work hard at. Thanks again. :)

I'm really, REALLY loving this! It's getting even better with each chapter. I'm seriously in love with your ability to write each character IN character but applied in your universe. Absolutely loving it and can't wait for the next chapter and for Jim and Pam to finally hook up :)

Author's Response: I\'m glad you\'re enjoying it so much. Hope you don\'t mind waiting a little for a hook up. They have a few hurdles to jump first. :)

This was a really great start! I'm definitely intrigued. But I would suggest that you change the description of the story to gain more readers. Include that Pam is a PR person and that Jim is a reporter. Let people know exactly how A/U this fic is. Other than that, it's great!

Author's Response: Hi, thanks for the review. Glad you liked it. I\'ll be sure to do that. I\'ve never put up a story on any forum so I\'m a little new to this.

This was absolutely amazing :) But I must admit I'm not surprised as all of your stories are amazing! The only teeny tiny nitpick I have is the redundant use of the words tight and tightness in the beginning. Otherwise everything was great :)

Author's Response: Thanks Lux, glad you liked it. You know, Blanca told me the same thing about \'tight\' and I read through it so many times I guess I just stopped noticing it before I went back to fix that--but I\'m glad you mentioned it, I made a couple adjustments. Repetitiveness is fun for no one. :) Thanks for the review! :)

You're tearing my heart out, here! You MUST write another chapter! Please! I'm begging you!

By the way, I love that Katie offered him to wrap his arm around her to make Pam think they were together. Obviously, it worked! Also, I love the detail at the end that Jim couldn't sleep on her side of the bed still. I would love to see this turn into a WIP, flashbacking to the reason why Pam left him and filling in the blanks.
