Title: Chapter 1: Prologue: The Call She Didn't Make
Wow, deerinthepark, I'm glad you found this! It's so perfectly Pam.
It's not that she's never considered a relationship with Jim-- she has. Every small, secret moment between them, she's wondered 'what-if'. But it's always been just that; she could always brush it off as too fanciful, impractical; unreachable. She's never really felt good enough for him. Jim got pretty girls like Katy, and could spoil them with his attention and wit. It wasn't that she didn't sense his attraction to her-- she did. But she'd convinced herself it was just the leftovers of a "crush" that would never become anything more than that. Girls like her were lucky to get guys like Roy: dependable, handsome and easy. And they were mostly happy together. It was enough.
This paragraph sums up entirely what I've ever thought of Pam's character and motives in a perfectly succint few sentences.
I loved this, thanks for writing it!
