Beautiful. I especially loved the last line - "True blue always returns for the second wave."

"I prefer to reason things out, but sometimes, a gut feeling is all you have to go on.”  Great advice from Jan, similar to Michael's advice to Jim on the Booze Cruise.



Author's Response: I'd like to think Jan would be supportive of Jim, whom she appears to like. :)

I love Roy saying that he shouldn't have left Pam there in the dress with Jim  but then coming to the realizaition that it wasn't the dress.  And how sweet that Darryl would buy a ticket for Pam to go to Australia.

This line was so sad and poignant - "Pam,” Phyllis says, lightly touching Pam’s hand, “no one else eats the candy now.” It made my eyes tear up. 

Author's Response:

I know!  I KNOW!  That's the thing about The OfficeVerse -- there's all this sadness below the funny.

Thanks for reviewing!

That was so sweet. Especially this line:  "With that, she was gone, leaving him smiling to himself, butterflies swirling in his stomach, knowing that things would turn out just they way he knew they were always meant to."

Author's Response:

Thanks for reading and leaving a review! And thanks for letting me know a specific part of the story you liked. It's always interesting to see what parts stand out for readers.

What a great story, except the end, of course.  But then again, she was free for the wrong reason.  Poor Jim.  This was a perfect line: 

(Hung the moon? Pam thought. Since when does Roy say things like ‘hung the moon’?)



Author's Response:

Honestly, the whole story was born from that line alone.

Strange, but true.

Thanks so much for you comments!

This chapter gave more hope but I am still worried about Pam having an affair.  It seems so unlike her, but all the signs seem to point in that direction.

Wonderful ending. I'm so glad Pam got her house with the terrace and that they are still so in love with each other that their romantic side is still a high priority, no matter how much it grosses the kids out. Can't wait to read your next story!

Author's Response: Thanks! I give all the romantic credit to Jim! He'd keep it all going!

I beg to differ with you - I think this was different and unique and I loved it!  Pam accidentally putting her Mom on speakerphone was perfect. As was the sneeze!

Author's Response:

My mom has the world's loudest most distinct sneeze EVER.  She'd also totally root Pam on.  So Ms. Beesly is kinda a carbon copy of my own mother.

Now if only I was Pam and could be the one kissing the heck out of Jim.

Sigh.  Sorry.  Drifted there for a moment.  ;)  LOL!

"He looks back up when he realizes she's getting closer, his expression somewhere between terror and hunger" - what a great line, especially when you consider what Pam does next.
