Not so much a story, as a Jim POV mood piece, following the phone call (that launched a thousand fanfics.)A scene from sometime down the road…viewed with rose-colored glasses. Through Diwali. Little bit steamy.
Post Initiation, just before Diwali. Jim POV. Just pondering physics, the Kama Sutra, a phone call, and you know who.
Jim, Pam and Karen, kidding themselves about how things really are.
Post Merger - Except the years he waited, he was able to witness her falling out of love - She's getting to watch him fall in love. Pam reaches her breaking point and decides to take a leap.This is just my answer to Thursday night's angst - my attempt at an explanation of what the hell they were thinking, as well as my offering of a happy ending (TWSS!).

Post-Merger. A little angsty, a little triangular, but fear not - it doesn't end there. Anger, Pain, Love...someone has to do something
Karen realizes that it's not going to work out with Jim and decides to pursue other options.
