Great twist on the title!  This is going to be another awesome story of yours, I just know it!!   (And yea for Hope being #1 on the JAM fan fic list!!) 

Author's Response: Thanks, thanks, and thanks!  Glad you're looking forward to it, Karen ;)

I just love the interaction between the grandpa and his granddaughter - it adds such a sweet element to the story. And the line "sneaky kind of pretty" was brillant! (and how sweet that your husband left you a review and said the same thing about you.....awwwww.)

Author's Response: Thanks, kaystar!  And, yeah, Dave rocks ;)

What a wonderful story. I loved the last few lines - "I didn't mean to..."  "Yes you did..."  "I'm sorry..."  "No you're not."  It all seemed so real and so them!



Author's Response: Thanks!  That's my favorite part, too, because they do know each other so well and Pam would know, she just would.

Author's Response: Thank you! I totally stole it from the title of the story, which I had stolen from a Kelly Clarkson song! To me it fit the moment better than anything else. I'm glad you think so too.

Poor Toby, and poor Kevin for overhearing what Michael said about him. And Michael's explanation about his dinners being a corporate expense was delightful!

Author's Response:

Toby is the most mistreated person in that office and it's all at Michael's hand, whcih is sad and funny at the same time. 

I totally ripped that corporate expense idea from the episode "The Secret"...that's one of my favorite Michael/Toby moments. I'm glad you like the fic! :D

Author's Response: Thanks so much! It's hard to choose a favorite for me but I don't want to be attacked by vampires so I'll go with SCG...

What a cute idea for a story!  I was so happy to see that it was their wedding he was helping plan - I was afraid it was Pam/Roy!  Didn't like Roy barging in at the receiption but I was glad he didn't do it at the church. Totally understandable though.

Author's Response: Yeah I felt Pam was really bogged down planning her wedding to Roy and Jim wasn't going to let that happen, even if she expected nothing from him.

Author's Response: Thanks, Kaystar. Glad you thought the Jim/Karen stuff worked...who knows how it will 'actually' play out (she says, slightly nervously.)

What an awesome story. It's great by itself, but the way you incorporated the 5 elements in was unbelievable. I read the whole story first and then went back to see what the 5 elementws were. They were all so subtly interwoven that I never would have guessed them had I not re-read the challenge. I loved Michael promising the kids a ride on his pet zebra! That is so something he would do. And I love the title and all the promises that were made and or broken in this story.  Your talent really shined through on this one!



Author's Response: I'm really touched. Thank you so much for the kind words. This was so much fun- I'm so glad you got a lot out of it!

This was just beautiful.  I loved this paragraph about Roy -

"Roy hadn’t understood, but that was okay. She hadn’t really expected him to. He was a simple man who wanted simple things. He was happy with his job and he was satisfied with their relationship and he was content with his life. There wasn’t anything wrong with that."
