Title: Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Too Scared To Know How I Feel About You Now
Ugh, this is just KILLING me! Again, so well written. Jon with the champagne, nice. I can't wait for the next chapter but I really don't want it to end.
Author's Response:
Hee - I always feel guilty for thinking, yes! when a reviewer says something like that ("This is KILLING me!"), but it is in a way what I'm going for, I suppose. (What can I say? I am an angst whore, apparently.)
Glad you liked the detail with Jon & the champagne. I'm well aware that he treads a fine Mary Sue-esque line, but I really love the idea of a foil for Jim who's so similar in a lot of ways, but is able to be relatively objective; I also love the idea of Jim having a brother with whom Pam is close, someone that she'd confide in a little bit. (And I have searched and searched through my own psyche, yet am unable to locate what it is that makes me have such a penchant for this scenario, LOL.)
In any case - I pulled back on including Jonathan in fics for a while, for fear of overload or overkill or just too much, but reviewers seemed to really respond to him. So here he is.
And, uh, the champagne - while his grandest gesture - will not be his last. :o)
Thanks for reviewing!
