Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 19: We're Strange Allies With Warring Hearts
What a perfect song choice for this stage in Jim and Pam's relationship. Your writing style is magnificent and while I'd like nothing more than to see them acknowledge their feelings to each other, I think it's more real that they're still cautious right now. Spot on writing as always girl7.
Author's Response:
Yay - glad you liked the chapter title! That one's been swirling around on my list, and I kept bumping it back. (I tell you, picking the chapter titles for this thing has been one of the more surprising challenges, as there are so many excellent little snatches of lyrics that fit so well.)
Also glad that you're enjoying the pacing of this -- because for one thing, I had no idea how to proceed after the whole one-night stand thing. (Gee, that makes it sound like *I* had a one night stand with Jim, no? Heh, if only....) Anyway - yes, I didn't think it'd be realistic to have them just go right back to the way they were before, but honestly, I had absolutely no frame of reference.
The other thing about it is that I'm an impatient writer at times -- anxious to get to the "good" stuff, so I whined a lot to my beta, Starry Dreamer, over this last chapter (sending emails along the lines of, "Gahhhh, this is boring to write!" ...which it actually wasn't; it's just that I've had the ending envisioned for such a long time that I'm eager to get to it.)
Anyway, thank you so much for reviewing!
