Summary: Past Featured Story

Jim returns to Scranton from Stamford in a world where Karen doesn't exist. Pam wants to pick up where they left off on Casino Night but Jim tells her he's done all the pursuing so far, and he'd like be pursued (read: seduced). "Give me a reason to come back." 

Inspired by the Taylor Swift song "I Think He Knows".

That conversation at the end is adorable! You’re building up the tension so well. I can’t wait to read about Philly.
So glad you picked this story back up. And since you mentioned the next chapter is almost ready, can’t you post it today? 😆

So glad you brought this story back! Things are getting very interesting, but we still know so little about Jim. And Pam’s grades are slipping. It’s a slippery slope.
Can’t wait to read more

Lovely chapter. I like how Pam and Jim are advancing in their relationship, but at a realistic slow pace, considering everything Pam’s been through.
I really don’t like Karen! Can she not the get the clue? I just REALLY hope that Pam doesn’t tell Jim that he should see other people while she gets better. That would just be cruel for everyone. We want a happy Pam and a Karen that gets sent packing LOL

What a lovely ending to this chapter. And I love that Betsy Halpert was able to bring a smile to Pam’s face.
Since you’re accepting requests, here are mine:
1. Obviously Roy needs to get his comeuppance. I hope that Pam’s attorney rips him a new one, and that Roy’s defense isn’t too harsh on Pam
2. I think all the other Dunder Mifflinites owe Pam a huge apology. There were all just judgemental jerks. I’d love to read a scene where they’re all just mortified and ashamed at their behavior.
3. Karen. Could you bring her up again just to see what happened with her? Of course, I hope she also gets what she deserves.
4. Lastly, Jim and Pam deserve the fluffiest, happiest ending. I hope you can dedicate a few chapters to Pam’s emotional healing and her finding true happiness

I’ve been following this story since The Other Pam. The title reminds me of Frida Khalo’s painting The Other Frida. I wonder if that was your inspiration?
Your writing is beautiful and has kept me coming back chapter after chapter. This story has been a emotional roller coaster. I’m looking forward to reading where this ends up.

Many, many jellybeans

Author's Response:

Thank you so much. Yes... #1 definitely. #2 Excellent suggestion. #3 Karen... I will definitely think that over. #4 I had anticipated 5 chapters left but I think still will stretch longer.. I have a habit of picking up more story along the way when I write and you've given some great ideas. 

I actually wanted to say thank you as well - no I had not seen the painting of The Other Frida, and had no relevance to the title of the first part of this story. That being said, I googled the painting this morning and I saw another work of Frida Khalo which was so striking and appropriate. It was "the Two Fridas". This must be kismet because if there ever was an art image for this story, than the Two Fridas is it. I also really loved the painting on sight, and the emotion it presents. Thank you for nudging me to find it!

I loved Dwight in this chapter. So very him. And I love that he called Jim a nerd LOL
I can’t wait to read Jim’s testimony. I’m sure Roy’s defense will try to destroy his character. I wonder how Jim will work this out. I imagine he’ll try really really hard to keep his chill

I’m in tears over Pam and her dad’s conversation. You wrote that so beautifully.
I’m so glad that the chapter ended with Pam finding her courage. But PLEASE don’t make us wait long for the next chapter. I can’t wait to read about Pam’s testimony.
