Whoa!  (That is a very good "whoa")  I have sort of been reduced to that after reading this.  I do not see the weakness you see in this chapter at all.  It packed quite a punch.    I especially love that Jim knew the pain additional risk would cause him, but he had to let himself take that chance anyhow.  Awesome job, once again.

Author's Response:

Thanks so much.  I think that I know which chapters this chapter is a bridge between and I'm much more proud of the other two.  But I'll admit to liking the Pam in the bathroom scene.  Okay that sounded wrong....

I'm so happy that you like it and I really appreciate the review.

I've been dying to read this, but work has me insanely buried at the moment. I finally found the time this evening and, man alive, am I glad I did. You never cease to amaze me. I love so much of this story, even though it hurt my heart a bit. But a few things do stand out for me. I love the moment in the bedroom, where Jim can't help but grab Pam's hand. Such a simple gesture, but the moment spoke volumes about how he was feeling. And this entire last chapter...I can't pick a single moment. The care he took with Pam's pot and the disregard Karen had for it seems so perfect. Like I said, this hurt my wee heart, but it is beautiful. Thank you for sharing :)

Author's Response: So sorry about hurting your heart ;-)...but so glad you liked this. And really pleased you thought him grabbing her hand was 'enough' - hoped it would convey all I wanted it too. Thanks so much, WalkInLove - love hearing from you!

I love the way you've built the tension in this chapter.  I giggled when Pam hung up on House upon Angela's approach.  I'm glad she saw some hope in his agreeing to talk with her, even though she's aware he just lied to her.

Oh, Pam... *sigh*. I love this more than I can tell you and I'm crazy stoked about chapter 10!

You know how much I love this story and I am so sad to see it end. But what an end. These two...much too stubborn for their own good. Good thing House is even more stubborn. Thank you for sharing.

Umm...Wow!  Nice visual, my friend.  Very nice.  I always feel like I repeat myself to you, but here goes anyhow.  I really love this.  I love how Pam is mesmerized by watching him do something so simple.  I love how she feels naked in front of him because I'm pretty sure it is due to the way he looks at her.  I know for a fact I have said this before, but it bears repeating.  You manage to paint the most amazing visuals.  You have a beautiful way of weaving words together to create the picture that gets me every.  single.  time.  Thank you again for sharing.

Author's Response: No, thank you again for such a generous review. I much prefer writing about small simple moments - so it thrills me no end when readers like you like them too. And I'm kind of a visual girl, so if that comes across in the words, I'm doubly thrilled. Thanks so, so much, WalkInLove!

Aww...what a nice Sunday afternoon treat.  Talk about a fun treasure hunt, finding all those hidden freckles.  I have been quite patiently waiting for this chapter and my patience has been quite rewarded.  Excellent job, of course, as always.  Thank you again.

Author's Response: Well, I thank you for your patience, as well as this very kind review. And yeah, that Jim sure knows how to throw a treasure hunt...thanks again, WalkInLove!

Beautiful.  Absolutely beautiful  I totally went back and re-read it immediately.

Author's Response: I hope it held up to a second read! Thank you so very much for reading and taking the time to comment. I appreciate it!

I've been looking forward to reading this but my crazy weekend has prevented it until now.  What a lovely cap to my weekend.  This is just really amazing.  I don't have any eloquent words to describe how much I loved this.  So I'll just say. thank you so much for sharing the lovely story with us.  Such a great treat.

Author's Response: Thanks so much for your kind words. I\'m glad you enjoyed it.

I'm glad the mood struck you to add Jim's quirks. :)  These are quite fun and easy to picture in context of character.  I'll keep my fingers crossed that the mood strikes you again. ;)  Thank you for sharing.

Author's Response: We\'ll see... I like these kind of unconnected one-shots where if something else comes to me I can just add it on. Glad you liked it! Thank you for reading and leaving your thoughts. :)

Once again, I feel like I repeat myself when I review your stuff.  I can't help it.  You evoke the most beautiful emotions with your word.  This?  This is beautiful and fun and so spot on them.  I love that not having sex was foreplay for them.  Well done, my friend, as always.  Thank you for sharing this with us. 

Author's Response: No, thank you for being such a great audience! Yes, like foreplay - amazing what a good night's sleep will do for a girl ;-) Anyway, as always - much appreciated, WalkInLove! (And hope you're feeling better.)

This?  Beautiful.  And perfect.  Thank you so much for sharing on the eve of the wedding.


Author's Response: I'd be happy with "beautiful" or "perfect"- thank you for both!

Wow!  This is a very lovely treat to come home to on a random Monday afternoon.  I love the back and forth from present to past and back.  It was pretty hot to boot. :)  Thank you for sharing this.

Author's Response: Thank you for reading it! Glad you enjoyed it. This was really just me finding a way to combine a wedding fic with a remember-when fic. Now back to schoolwork and other real life obligations... :)
